The Gift

Dear Friends in Christ -

Today, a whole bunch of folks from St. Paul's joined a bunch of folks from other churches and worked down in Bridgeport at Sister Theresa's daycare. The gift of time and energy that folks gave completely renewed the daycare, making the space larger, brighter and all-around better for the kids. But if you ask the folks who worked down there - from the guy who came down to cook egg sandwiches for morning coffee break to the guy who has worked for weeks to organize the whole thing - they would talk about RECEIVING a gift, not giving one.

That's the power of love - and the privilege it is to work for God.

Faithfully,
Janet+

PS - If you weren't able to help out today, there may still be an opportunity to help out tomorrow. Come to church to hear more details!
