Bring on the Shorts!

This weekend there were five people out at Adopt-A-Block. It was so nice out that some people even came wearing shorts! The group was able to bring a couple of lawn mowers with them.

We were able to mow eight lawns in total for the people that we got to talk to. We got to have some conversations with some of the people on the blocks and picked up some garbage off their lawns. Once again we had people wanting to donate to the Church and we just explained that we are not doing these acts of kindness for donations, but simply want to bless the people in our community.

Do you find yourself bored on Saturday mornings? Not sure exactly what you want to do? Well, have I got the answer for you! Come on out to Adopt-A-Block and have some fun with us.

YOUTUBE DISCUSSION

 

Unexpected Friends

Video:
http://goo.gl/8pNpO

Topic:
Friendship

Bible:
Colossians 3:12-14

Discussion Starter:
I bet you thought this was a special effects prank! But if you look at the authors YouTube channel you’ll see that this is really happening on her back porch in Alaska.

On the one hand, we can see how this unlikely friendship could quickly end in someone becoming a meal. But on the other hand, the unlikelihood of their friendship is amazingly fun.

As we think about the people in our lives we can admire this odd animal friendship in Alaska and have hope that it really is possible to live at peace with anyone. Paul writes in Colossians 3, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Love and forgiveness make all types of relationships possible in Christ! Imagine what your school would be like if all of the eagles, foxes, and cats got along?

3 Questions:

  1. If a cat, eagle, and fox were to get into a fight, who do you think would win?
  2. Which one of those animals do you associate with the most? Why?
  3. Have you ever helped make peace between two people who didn’t get along?

Chew on this: 
If it’s possible, in Christ, to live at peace with anyone. Than why don’t churches get along better?

Junk Removal

There were a number of people out at Adopt-A-Block this weekend to help out. The group headed out and was able to clean up a bit more garbage as they went knocking on doors.

There were several people who asked about us hauling a bunch of their junk away with the trailer.  Sadly enough we are not able to take the trailer out with us every Saturday, but we let them know that we will be bringing the trailer around the blocks soon and we can take their junk then.

Come and join us this Saturday as we have loads of fun talking to our neighbors and helping them meet their needs.
