Outreach Next Thursday the 16th!!
Hey everyone!
Mtm is a group that is centered around noticing
- noticing the wonder and goodness of God in everyday life, and then looking for ways to connect w Him in our everyday lives
and
- noticing the people around us - that they are hurting and broken just like we are, and yet that they are wonderful and amazingly made, just like we are - and looking for ways to reach out into their worlds and serve/love them well
We are trying to LIVE out a better way in this crazy world that is so consumed w getting more, being more, becoming more, achieving more, buying more, etc.
A part of that has always been that we try to serve - to love people w practical things.
But, we always try to serve people we know and in personal ways that grow our relationships - basically, our service is part of and an extension of, our noticing - we notice, we care, we love - many times with practical service (either personally, or as a group)
Over the years, this has taken the shape of many outreach projects - and this coming Thursday, the 16th, we will have another outreach.
These are super fun and you need to plan to be there.
This time, we will be working to clean up the yard of a friend of ours, Kathy, at her house:
738 Main St
Dayton, IN 47941.
This will begin at 6:30. We will meet at her house - and there will be dinner. We will finish when we finish, but i will be before dark.
We will be doing:
Trimming bushes, trees, etc - so we need loppers, trimmers, saws, ladders, tarps, pruners, step stools
Draining a water heater/checking it - hot water has a funny smell
Flower bed clean out, pull all weeds - so we need shovels, hand tools, gloves, weeding tools
Cutting down some small trees - rope, saws, maybe pick axe for stumps
Moving some stuff around in the house - need strong backs and arms
and anything else you can think we might need for these projects.
We really hope to see you there - it will be a great time.
in the meantime, keep noticing...

This Thursday Outreach reschedule!
This thursday, July 5th, we will have our rescheduled outreach from a few wks ago.
...helping out an elderly lady w some yard work.
We will meet at her house this time, which is 8723 Stockwell Rd, Lafayette, at 6:00pm. The earlier start time is to give us more time and to give us time to eat - yes, there will be dinner!!
There will not be childcare that will be organized, so come planning to know where your kids are, but it is out in the country and she has a huge yard to play in. We have been there before and it is always a great time.
We will be doing a variety of things and so, you may bring something to help if you like:
bush trimming - trimmers, loppers, rakes, tarps, ladder - work gloves
leaves in the beds - rakes and blowers
flower bed weeding and redigging (she will provide dirt and plants) - need weeding tools, gloves, rakes, spades - maybe even a small tiller if someone has one
weed wacking
power washing vinyl siding - we will bring our power washer - someone might bring some extra hoses, just in case
kitchen door knob to outside put in - she has it already - but will need tools for this
We hope to see you - i know it is the day after a holiday, but waiting another 2wks just did not seem right!
