We praise the Lord that throughout the entire season, no one was hurt. His protection has been evident in every detail. The biggest project\u2014extending the retaining wall on one of the ponds\u2014is now finished along with many other large projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-600x426.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-125x89.jpg 125w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-250x178.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window-356x253.jpg 356w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tracy-recalde\/files\/2026\/04\/MM-Window.jpg 674w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Volunteer Ladies Cleaning Windows<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>Volunteer Appreciation Night<\/strong> was a success!
