Alfredo Kithler holds an ax by a drainage ditch at Good Shepherd Moravian Church in Port Arthur.

Wilmer Carrillo also works on the ditch.

In the church kitchen, Justina Rodriguez prepares a meal for those participating in the church work day.

Kithler said church members spent their holiday Monday tending to repairs at the church, which sustained damages during Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey in August 2017.
