Want to Help Sand for Haiti?

One of the big challenges for teams in Haiti is transportation. GVCM, our Haitian partner, has recently been blessed with the donation of a school bus! The bus will be used to transport larger U.S. teams that are working with GVCM in Haiti and by the church, orphanage and school in Haiti. It will ship out soon, but it needs painting. So the Haiti team is planning a "sand the bus day" tomorrow, Saturday (Nov. 10), in preparation for painting. It will take place up in Lakeville, and they're looking for about 15 people who can help. They're also looking for 6" disk air sanders to use for the day. If you can help, contact Mike Mularoni at mike@gvcm.org. You can also call the church before 3:00 p.m. to get Mike's phone number.

Compassion Action

First Saturday of every odd numbered month our church supplies, cooks and serves lunch for several hundred homeless and financially struggling folks at Dorothy Day in St. Paul. Tim and Cindy Wiant have been heading up this ministry for some time now. They're a great couple team and create a fun and productive atmostphere for all who participate. You may recognize them from our drama team. I've never known anybody that loves cooking for others like Tim does. It's fun to see someone apply their passion to doing kingdom work.

Lots of great reasons to sign up for Dorothy Day:

• It's Kingdom work ("you fed me when I was hungry").
• It's a great way for families to serve together.
• It's a great way for a small group to serve together. Our small group volunteered for this last Saturday.
• It's a great way for generations to serve together.
