Alabama Rural Ministries has been walking across the state the last two weeks to raise money for their ministry. They mostly help people repair homes that otherwise could not afford it. A couple of them are walking 111 miles in hopes of raising $111,000. It is an awesome cause and truly wonderful people that are working towards it.
ARM stopped in Selma this past weekend. Some Church Street UMC members along with the Jr High Youth of First UMC Daphne joined the walk as they entered Selma. It was exciting to see about 50 people walking across the bridge for such a great cause.
On Saturday, 702 Church Street began the morning as an absolute jungle and turned into only something of an unkept yard (which is saying a lot!). I will try to get some pictures of the before/during/after.
Thank you to the ARM staff and volunteers, First UMC Daphne Youth, Church Street UMC members, and everyone else that came out and supported this cause.

And the other picture is proof that I actually looked like I was working if nothing else...
