Jacki Belile\">On this Saturday, February 12th, we invite you to join our trustees for a &#8220;Labors of Love&#8221; morning. We&#8217;ll gather from 9am-11am to spend some time blessing our building (and one another) as we focus on a mix of light cleaning, moving, fixing things.&nbsp; We&#8217;ll be joined by some Cub Scouts and maybe other friends for this time of shared work. We&#8217;d be grateful for your presence for some portion of the morning, even if you can only help for a part of it.&nbsp;<br><br>A bit of history&#8211;<br><br>&#8220;Labors of Love&#8221; is the coin we phrased back in 2015, as our trustees renewed a commitment to share about our recent building improvements and communicate about upcoming needs. We even made a little movie called &#8220;Blessing our Building&#8221; available on request.&nbsp; Our first Labors of Love event was on Valentine&#8217;s Day weekend after church.&nbsp; We&#8217;ve done it sporadically over the years and are renewing maybe a bi-monthly event for the time being.&nbsp;<br><br>We could REALLY USE your presence in person.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please do join in this teamwork opportunity, even if you can only help a portion of the morning.<br><br>Can&#8217;t make it physically in the morning? Wanna help with a fundraising mailing from home? Want other assignments and errands?&nbsp; There&#8217;s abundance around here, including abundance in ways to help!&nbsp; It&#8217;s our way of telling the story&#8230; what we have to give, even in tiny increments, is ENOUGH. And, when we give it to Christ and one another, it is multiplied.<br><br>In Christ&#8217;s Peace,<br>Pastor Jacki&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this Saturday, February 12th, we invite you to join our trustees for a &#8220;Labors of Love&#8221; morning.
