The past few days have been filled
with examples which remind me why I am so grateful for this
congregation. On Saturday a whole parade of people spent the day
working hard to make the church’s biennial yard sale such a huge
success. Because of their efforts the Board of Outreach and Mission
will have $2,200 to spend on local mission projects like Family
Promise, Home Plate, Laundry Love and more. The entryway into the
sanctuary was crowded with barrels full of clothing and another large
container is full of school supplies. Last week there were several
homeless families sleeping in our basement. Meals are being provided
for one of our families who is experiencing a medical crisis. On and
on the list could go. On a regular and ongoing basis you live out
your understanding that being Church means reaching out beyond
yourselves to touch the world with God’s Love. Thank you for being
who you are. Thank you for doing what you do.

the flow)
