Jacob Pace, of YouthWorks, rigs a system to paint a house across the hedges at 700 N. Beech St. on Wednesday.

The teenagers also sponsor a non-denominational children’s program at the Seventh Day Adventists Church from 12-3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The teenagers come from churches as far away as South Dakota and Texas. Housebound residents can call Claire DesHotels at 952-564-4323 to see about getting their house painted.
