If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother or sister in need, yet closes his heart against them, how does God's love abide in him? Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. ~ 1 John 3:17-18
With Ashura, Hanukkah, Bodhi Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and various other holy holidays, December is a month for thinking of others and sharing Love. We will engage in this spiritual practice of sharing Love Sunday night when we gather to concretely address 3 mission needs: 1) we will put together gift bags for people cared for by Big Spring State Hospital; 2) we will collect books for the library at Big Spring State Hospital; and 3) we will complete our chili can drive for the St. Paul Christmas box effort. All the gift bag elements will be present, so come ready to put them together. But don't come empty-handed! Bring books to donate to Big Spring State Hospital and bring cans of chili for the food box drive. Our goal for books - whatever we collect. Our goal for cans of chili - at least 260. We will not share potluck, but holiday goodies are always welcome!
