+ *Faith At Work*
*”Faith At Work* is gearing up for our community service event in April, and we are ready to hear about your interest and availability! The planning team and other generous congregants have contributed a range of ideas. Crew leader Keith Buhr is entertaining the option of doing a different service activity each week in April, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate in a role they enjoy. However, we really need to know 1) which of the following activities draw your interest and which week works best for you, and 2) your T-shirt size if would like one as you volunteer with us. Our proposals include: joining with CAW on the afternoon of the 7th to support a family fun neighborhood day, supporting a crisis pregnancy center in mid-weekday, providing social support (e.g., games, devotions) in a nursing home, giving child-family support in a homelessness program, and providing a meal at the Ronald McDonald house. Keith plans to order T-shirts by *February 15* and volunteers in some cases need to complete short training modules before April to be ready, so please email kkbphd@gmail.com or speak to him for sign up soon! Anyone who really enjoys their experience can also *continue* to volunteer after April…” Keith Buhr
