Painter’s Tape Glee!
Zion Oconomowoc
The youths and families of Zion Oconomowoc worked together to refurbish their classrooms in anticipation of the fall Sunday School kickoff. With kids hanging from the rafters, it is an exciting time and every inch of classroom space is needed for all ages. Everyone enjoyed a cold treat along the lakeshore after a day of hard and diligent work. Never was painters tape applied with such glee!
