Rev Hanson with our Social Action team. Sometimes it feels like anything we do is only a drop in the bucket. But "many drops will turn a mill". Some of us, not currently "active" have contributed gallons of drops in the past. Others are looking for the right channel for their potential power. Where are you in the journey to "making the world more just and kind?"
Sign-up sheets are posted on the Coming Events bulletin board, just to the left of the kitchen entrance. Further info: Carola Lacy
