"Doing" Project - week 2

This week, if you are interested, our project is going to be based more on encouragement and support for people who need it and may rarely receive it. The Kirksey/Day group will be meeting at the church around 6:00 or so in room 304. Bring your own dinner and we will hang out for a bit, eat some dinner and then get into some writing. Dusty is providing for us a list of staff, elders and those in the hospital, those confined to their home, etc. and we will spend some time writing encouraging letters, cards or notes to them. Cristen and Jason will give us details on what to bring, but all you need to bring right now is yourself, your dinner and a pen. If you are part of the Gibson/Boudra life group and want to write some notes or get some names/addresses from us, please let me, Dusty, Cristen or Jason know. We will be happy to help.

I forgot who, but someone brought up a great point that the elders and staff get so many complaints and concerns sent their way and probably rarely receive encouragement. For those who have been sick or are stuck at home, many of them rarely see family or friends and nothing more than a short note or a kind word can do wonders for them. This small thing we can do over the course of an hour might just be the best thing someone receives all week.

Also, be thinking about what we can tackle next. Bekki Kearns has already done a great job planning some long-term projects like baby-sitting for new mothers and lunches at Impact.
