Expensive, even though ti was just part of the building, because all the utilities, water, electricity, heat, etc. were redone. Although professionals did most of the work, we saved money by doing the parts that could be done by lay people, such as painting and siding. There is a sense of community in doing that, especially for the men involved, who don't seem to get engaged with the other activities in the church as easily. Do you have any ideas about how to sustain this community sense once a job is done or what other things can engage the men more?LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-70693304718101790482012-05-28T22:08:25.074-05:002012-05-28T22:08:25.074-05:00Such good words about community.

You knock me over with the power and passion of your words. You never raise your voice, you just speak and write from such a deep well of wisdom. <br /><br />How I thank you. This post is getting printed, I need to really sit with it for awhile and then bring it to my communities.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
