'Faena' in Spanish means 'church work day'. Well, actually it means any work day where a group of people get together to do some large task for the general good. We've participated in faenas in the past to dig water canals in villages and to do repairs at our children's schools. On Sunday's faena, we expanded our roof to cover our newly-enlarged sanctuary. We recently increased the number of walls in our church 50%! (from two to three) and by doing so, widened our sanctuary, so we extended the tin roof to cover the new gap.
If you don't have a step ladder, you can just pile up chairs to the height you want!
