The weather was a bit cloudy and cool, but the spirits were sunny and warm as 302 people gathered at United Christian Church in Dublin for Miracle day.  There were 35 Congregations and 1 Temple represented including a large contingent from Iglesia El Aposento Alto, the site of last year's Miracle Day.

Some, especially those from far away, came down the night before to say in motels so they could start bright and early.  Some, like Bob Alveraz and his crew, came down early to purchase supplies and plan the work.  In fact, Bob is now famous at the Macon Home Depot for setting a records: the most stuff piled on a pickup truck.

The morning began early, with registration and breakfast at First Christian Church of Dublin.  Then everybody gathered at United Christian to check in their tools, and then hold a short worship before getting down to work.  Chairpersons Suzanne Wages and Debbie Acre introduced our excellent safety staff, United pastor Alphonso Whiting welcomed everyone and then Bob Alveraz took over to get the crews organized.  Everybody worked hard and yet the worst injury treated by our first-aid staff was a splinter.

There was LOTS to do including: Renovating the kitchen with new cabinets, counters  and water heater. Rebuild the stage, including access to the baptistery. Painting the exterior Repainting the Church Sign Distributing leaflets in the neighborhood Renovating the restrooms, which included some major plumbing work. Painting pews, the pulpit and other furniture Paneling several rooms Installing shelves in the storeroom Install a front walk Install new doors, exterior and interior Plant flowers and bushes in the yard, trim limbs And lots of general cleanup

The day closed with another short worship service were individuals shared miracles they witnessed during the day, pastor Whiting thanked everyone for their love and Regional Minister Tom Neal prayed for United Christian..

Thanks not only to all who participated, but also to those who provided contributions and prayers.  Your support was also key to the success of this Miracle day.

Miracle Day is sponsored by the National Benevolent Association, a division of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and is a day of region-wide participation in a joint work project to refurbish, repair and renovate the building and grounds of one of our region’s Disciple Congregations.
