On May 25, 2006 Creighton and Pastor Adam White, Associate Pastor, discussed the project concept Creighton
had in mind. Creighton’s Eagle Scout project began on 12/21/07. His project was to paint the walls and floor of an area in
the basement of 1st St. Paul’ Lutheran Church called the Christian Underground. The walls and floor were bare concrete.

hours his project took was 120. His project was completed on 2/25/07. Creighton had his Eagle Scout Board of Review
