 Blue Jeans Sabbath
First Saturday of each Month , After 2nd Service
Join us for our monthly community service day where we wear our blue jeans to church and lend a hand in our local community on Sabbath, December 1. We will meet in the “Big Room” for lunch right after second service so don’t forget to bring your sac lunch. Several opportunities will be available to assit people in our community and help us in our learning to love well.
The opportunities available this Saturday are:
Happy 4th. I hope you have a day of fun and fireworks planned. And then, when all the festivities are over, and the smoke from the fire works has cleared out of the air, take some time to think about which Blue Jean Sabbath activity you'll want to be part of this Saturday, July 5. We have several opportunities, and some different times during the day so something will fit into your schedule. Most opportunities will be after church, but this week we'll be going to the Norton House at 8:30 am to beat the heat.
Below is a description of all the service opportunities. There will be sign up sheets in the church foyer during church where you can also get more information. Bring a sac lunch to eat in the Big Room and then join us as we put God's love into action.
NORTON HOUSE

NORTON NEIGHBORHOODS PROJECT
 Stay tuned for workbees and other CrossWalk projects

For info and directions on this Sunday's Work Bee at "The Gardens," LLUMC's after-school site in San Bernardino, go to www.healthycities.com --a link is on the homepage.
Bring a water bottle and gloves if you have them. Wear closed-toed shoes that can get dusty. If you have a pickup and can bring a wheelborrow, that might be helpful too. Carpentery skills and tools will be helpful. Rakes and shovels too. We'll be doing some neighborhood clean-up as well as working on the after-school site.
Include your digital camera and take a few pictures (include smiling faces whenever you can), email a few of the best ones to me with a little information about what church or program the volunteers are from.
We suspect we'll have enough volunteers that we can begin thinking about dividing into four teams--one of which would come the first Sunday of the month, another the second Sunday, another the third Sunday, and another the fourth Sunday. (we'll take the 5th Sunday off!) Individuals, families, classes, or groups from churches could elect to come once a month or once every two months.
That way there will be more opportunity to interact with the children, youth, and even the adults of the neighborhood--to get acquainted, to work shoulder to shoulder, and to empower each other to maximize the gifts and talents each person enjoys.
See you Sunday! My cell phone will be on.
Warm regards,
Ron
