Reminiscent of the old-fashioned barn raising, members of the congregation of Eagle Bend’s United Methodist Church gathered Saturday for a “Scrape and Paint” party. They spent the day preparing the exterior of the building for a new paint job. With lots of helpers, the work was quickly accomplished. A bountiful luncheon was served by the Ladies Aid. Youngsters helped scrape while their dads manned the pressure washers on the other sides of the church.
