After a brief time of praying and singing together, come join the Ministries of Justice and Service, Worship and Spiritual Life, and Stewardship, Finance and Administration (SFA) for an hour of hands-on work. Which of the following projects speaks to your heart? If you can’t be there in person, your service could be in the form of a donation to the bag lunches.

Gardening and Clean Up – Join Moe Wright, Diana Graham, and Nick Kukulan from SFA in working on three outdoor projects. Moe will take a group to Alzheimers on Channing to weed and clean the front yard. Diana will lead a group to do garden work around First Church. Nick will lead a group to do some clearing out of the basement under the Sanctuary. Please bring work gloves, and if you’re weeding/gardening please bring garden tools. Look for Moe, Diana, and Nick in the Hall of Entrance to divide into groups.
Operation Love Notes – Join the Deacons in writing notes to members of the community who aren’t able to join us in person. All materials will be provided. Look for Julie Greer/Deacons on the patio.
Letters to our FCCB Kids to Mark the Beginning of the New School Year – School is (almost) back in session and we want to send a little blessing to our FCCB children and youth who are going back to school. Please stop by the table in the cloister and write 2-3 letters of encouragement to our littles. Letters can be a sweet prayer, blessing, or words of encouragement and affirmation.
