The Salvadoran cross project
(for El Buen Pastor Lutheran Church) is finally out of the planning stages and
underway. The smell of fresh cut wood is still in my nose.
The old piano wood has been
trimmed, cut to size, and angled for assembly. It will be roughly sanded
and then put together in time for the service at Grace next Sunday, when we
will all be reminded of the project and our parts in it.
We will be passing out colored pieces of paper this coming
Sunday, and are asking everyone to fill that paper with prayers for El Buen
Pastor, perhaps with poetry or song lyrics that inspire you spiritually and
which you'd like to share with them, or maybe a picture of you or your family
and a bit of your story. Use your creative imagination as you share
something that is encouraging and uplifting!
Remember, this cross is being
gifted to El Buen Pastor as a way to establish ties with that church and their
work in El Salvador. All members and friends of Grace have been asked to
participate in this cooperative project.
Please keep your eyes on
updates here for what's been done, and what's coming up!
Peace,
Laura Bourdo
