BoxofJustice
During the 11:00 Sunday School hour on April 26,
Pastor Matt, Nancy and Tim Bonner, and Steve
Yoder will report on the "solutions" that the justice
network are proposing to address childhood trauma,
the incarceration of the mentally ill, and the lack of
affordable housing in Lawrence. This will be your
opportunity to become better informed about these
critical local issues and to prepare for attending the
Nehemiah Action Assembly on May 7 at the Lied
Center.
Have a blessed day,

God at Work in the
World:
For April 22 and 29 we will con-
tinue the theme of "God at Work
in the World," only this time with a personal touch
from you.
You are invited to bring magazine or newspaper arti-
cles, or FB posts, or pictures you have taken, or your
own stories to share, about how you have seen God at
work in the world. It doesn't have to be extravagant or
far-out, though it could be. It can be as simple as what
one youth brought to an event like this: a newspaper
picture of the flowers and gifts left at the palace when
Lady Diana was killed. The youth said that he saw God
in the comfort and beauty of that picture.
So, be aware of God in your everyday life, and come the
next few Wednesdays at 6:40 to share and listen about
"God at Work in the World," our world.
There will also be a Bible study to go along with the
time of sharing.
Building Reconstruction Update:
April 20-24: Most north Sunday School rooms have been carpeted. The north hallway has
been tiled. Walls have come down, concrete has been demol-
ished, and footings poured for the new space on the southside
of the sanctuary. Thanks to all those who have helped
throughout the week moving furniture out and back in to
rooms, especially the libraryall those books!
April 27-May 1: finishing touches on Sunday school rooms.
May 2-8 Move furniture out and back into office suite. (Help
will be needed)
May 4-8: Offices and Work room carpeted and tiled.
