Ms. Mary’s Bucket List Item #8

Each person should give what they have decided in their heart give, not reluctantly or compulsion, for God loves cheerful giver. II Corinthians 9:7

DO A CHORE YOU DON’T LIKE TO DO, WITHOUT BEING ASKED

I know. This one can be a challenge. But it tends to be a favorite among parents, grandparents, and all caregivers. Invite God to help you do this. Be sure to mark it off your Summer Bucket List. Pay attention to how doing this one makes you feel when you’re all done.

In this last week’s issue (July 27), the article entitled “Thirsting for Water: At the Intersection of Climate, Water, and Hunger” inspired me. I found it to be a terrific follow-up to the Earthbound series we studied with the Faith in Action team during Adult Forum last year.

If you have a passion for creation justice, please be sure to check it out. Plus, you may want to join Ms Mary, Jeanne Maloney and others on Zoom (or in person at Bethany Lutheran Church) on Saturday, September 17 for the "Thirsting for Water" program, which is hosted by the RMS Hunger Ministry Team.

Still! StPLC Driveway Detour

You may have noticed that there is construction work on Belleview Avenue in front of the Saint Peter driveway. They are lining the sewer lines and eliminating some of the manholes, which could take up to three weeks to complete. The company doing the work plans to clear equipment in time for Sunday worship but you may need to take a detour through The Village parking lot next door during other times.
