August 16, 2013 - This is the day the Lord has made...

The Disaster Relief Team at St. Philip's Lutheran Church just completed three days "sprucing" up the church and its grounds.  One of the projects completed was the re-staining of the deck used for services on nice summer Sundays.  When we came out from our last team dinner tonight, I had to stop and admire how beautiful this was with Moore Lake in the background and the nice blue sky (I added blue to the sky in the photo).

Not that this is an exceptionally beautiful church - the landscaping is due for a lot of tend, loving care - but I thought the colors on the front would be fun to play with when editing the shot.  Advent Lutheran Church, Roseville, Minnesota.
