🌳 On Halloween Saturday, 100 young church volunteers surprised a friend by transforming woods bordering his field. After a month of planning, they gathered at 7 a.m., arrived at 8:30 a.m., and split into 10 teams of 10. Using chainsaws, chippers and skid steers, they worked until 6 p.m., creating trails, creek bridges and cleared groves. The day ended with burgers, campfires and a 100-voice choir singing under the stars.
