The answer: tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The little church that was once a stable has been using picnic tables in its narthex that were also created by Boy Scouts more than a decade ago. They were functional and had multiple uses during the church\u2019s Pumpkin Patch, but many were falling apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On two recent weekends, Hilley and a handful of Boy Scouts, Troop leaders led by Jamie Kranking, and parents came out to build five sturdy, farmhouse style tables using pressure-treated wood with notched bases, side stretchers, boxed aprons and windowpane finishes on the durable composite tops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese tables could be sold at an outdoor furniture store, they are so well made and beautifully designed,\u201d said Sheila Kolesaire, the church council president. \u201cWe are delighted to have tables that are easy for aging congregation members to sit down at as well as women in dresses or skirts. It was a bit of a challenge with aging picnic tables that had attached benches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the fourth Eagle Scout project at Lord of Life in the last year. A prayer garden, Little Lending Library, walkway and now dining tables have been built.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 4 percent of Boy Scouts achieve Eagle Rank, the highest level in Scouts. It requires a project with significant scope, planning, fundraising, and leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was happy to do this project and learned a lot about woodworking, design, cutting, precise measurements, and assembly,\u201d said Hilley. \u201cIt was great to see the finished tables, and know they\u2019ll be used every week.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo courtesy Sheila Kolesaire<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em> Eagle Scout Jake Hilley with helpers and the finished tables.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NewsLine Staffmail@floridanewsline.com Boy Scout Jake Hilley of Troop 277 came to the rescue of Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Ponte Vedra Beach when inquired about any project he could take on to reach his Eagle Scout rank.
