Some of you have already expressed interest in specific mission and outreach efforts, and we look forward to your continuing participation and leadership. Specific teams are being formed now for a Habitat for Humanity build in cooperation with Wesleyan University, as well as support for shut-in members of our congregation. See John Blossom if interested.
