LOCAL MISSION GROUP FORMING:  A small group from the Mission Committee, Deacons, and others is exploring helping those in our congregation and community who are need of housing repairs and are unable to get help because of cost or inability to find skilled workers.  With some funding from our Mission Committee and the Deacons and others, and some volunteer help (WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HELP A DAY, A MONTH OR EVEN A FEW HOURS EVERY FEW MONTHS?), we would like to start to plan to hire a contractor to do the assessment and the bulk of the project.  Several volunteers—of various skill levels from “go-fors” to assistant carpenters—would help on each day-long project.  If you have any interest, see Pastor Nancy, Jim Klingler, or Bill Grander.  There will be an organizing/visioning, “is it possible” meeting this month!
