People all along the age spectrum joined together on Saturday for Christ Church's 2nd annual "One Build" benefiting Habitat for Humanity. One team of servants gathered on campus to make picnic tables and birdhouses as gifts for new homeowners. Two additional teams gathered at Habitat for Humanity worksites, building alongside the potential homeowners who are required to put in "sweat equity" for their homes. Homeowners frequently surpass the required limit, engaged and excited as they are to turn the boards and bricks into their
home.
Two practices of the Way of Love, our guiding principles for faith formation this season, are "Go" and "Bless." To "Go" means to cross boundaries, connect deeply with others, and serve like Jesus. "Bless" means sharing our faith and giving our time and talents unselfishly to others. Our church is blessed to have tangible opportunities to live and love as Jesus taught us to do!
