For the love of people - we hang in the trees



Hey everyone!  If you missed our outreach last Thursday, you missed an awesome time!  After all, we climbed trees (and trimmed some), got a good workout (and laughed more than anyone ought to while exercising), put out a huge pile of trash by the road (sure doesn't take much effort when it's done by this many people), had great snacks (that had to be protected from falling branches from the roof), even did some first aid (with tissues and ice), but mostly we spent some time living life together, loving each other, and helping someone get some things done that they couldn't do on their own.  And, at the end of the night someone who had been so lonely only a short time ago got the chance to see that life could have love and life and goodness again.  That there really are people in this world who live like people matter.  That there really are people who believe in something more than just more stuff, more success, more money, more selfishness, more, more, more - and that actually live like it.  Not a bad way to spend an evening!

                Check out the pix!







                You won't want to miss our next outreach time together.  It is a blast and in these times, we find again a piece of what More than more is all about! 

                In the meantime, if you are interested in hanging out with a group of people who do things like this, we would love to have you join us next Thursday, May 16th, from 6:45-8:00PM, at McAllister Recreation Center, just off 20th and Schuyler Ave, Lafayette.  As always there will be free activities for all ages.
                                                                
                Hope to see you there!

Another quick note, for those of you who eat dinner

Just wanted to let you know that a friend of More than more, Kelsey, will be having a special fundraising night to help her family with medical bills related to her recent cancer diagnosis and treatment on May 8th - next Wednesday evening - 4-10PM, at Texas Roadhouse in Lafayette.  It would be a great thing if many of us were able to go - maybe even sit together.  You must have a voucher to get the $ to Kelsey and her family - we are happy to give you one.

Hope to see you there
