Remember our Hootenannies? They are a fun day for everyone, right? Well, it is May and time to have fun. There are a lot of details yet to be worked out. Sam Cochran is heading up our Hootenanny group and I know he would love to know if you would help him in putting this together..
There remains quite a bit of work to be done at Trails End. Rather than do another work day we have a list of jobs in the Friends Room that need to be done. Look it over and find the task or tasks that fits you best and sign up to accomplish that task whenever the time best suits you. Maybe you pair up with someone on a bigger job, or take your time and do it over the course of a few days. This may be a good opportunity to invite a friend from our community to join you in work at the Trails End.
In April because of your generosity, we were able to help a young mother, who is battling cancer. Her story is one of many trials and tribulations, a marriage that is going bad, unable to work, bills to pays, and uncertainty for not only her future but also her ten-year-old son. Around the Edges is a principal drawn from instructions given to Israel (Leviticus 23:22). Our Eldership knows there are always those who "come our way" who have special needs. We believe that when these "strangers" happen by, we should pay attention. Each month we set aside "Around the Edges" moneys for the poor and alien, for those who suffer catastrophic loss and for those who grieve. Your giving blessed a needy young mother last month.
