We recently heard about CityServe and its goal to transform our city together through service. What a perfect way for our church to be a part of something much bigger than what we could do on our own! We found a need we could meet at the PCYC in Windale.

This club offers all sorts of programs like archery, gymnastics, boxing, judo, and more. The problem is that the building is in disrepair and the PCYC lacks the funds to be able to make needed upgrades.

Graffiti has overtaken almost every blank wall space outside. And, over time, the club has collected so many “extra” items, that the indoor storage was overrun with rubbish. We spent about 60 man hours painting a massive concrete wall at the entrance to the club. This first impression was quite un-inviting before but now looks clean and fresh.

We also hired a skip bin to remove a lot of the un-needed items which had filled some of the storage space. Our team quickly filled it to the brim and everyone associated with the club is so happy to have the breathing room inside the facility.

Our church willingly served and gave up their Sunday afternoon. We had a BBQ and fun time hanging out afterwards. I love the culture we are building into the foundation of our church that puts others before ourselves and seeks to shine the light of Christ into our city.
