Dear Families,

 After many months of studying all sorts of people who used their faith to change people's lives, our 5th/6th grade Holy Troublemaker class entered a creative discernment process. The result of this process was their choice to make sandwiches and provide lunches to migrants waiting at the airport who have less food than they need.

It was a long and holy process. And like most new things, we hit some bumps, made some adjustments, laughed a lot, and then focused on how the community we built in our classroom could serve a broader community.

I am incredibly pleased with the progress they made, the ideas they generated, and their commitment to transforming their ideas and dreams into a project that helps feed our siblings in Christ who have been marginalized.

You can read about how you can participate in the project below, but if you see a Holy Troublemaker in church, you might want to thank them. These are the children who are growing in God's light and sharing it with the world-and transforming it in the process.

Much Love,



-Erin

Resurrection is a gift to be enjoyed, and also to be shared. God, help us share the gift of resurrection by loving one another well, caring for one another, and offering gifts of resurrection.

Amen.

Gather with Joy and Take Up and Read

"Joy is a precious gift of the Holy Spirit. Unlike ‘happiness’, which is based on happenings, joy functions just as well in the midst of struggle."
