Our Spring Series: Out of the Box & Outside the Lines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God often brings order to the chaos. But humans have a way of taking the good and using it for power and control. In those moments, God will lead us to color outside the lines and think out of the box. The revolution of love and justice that Jesus so often preached is just such a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s explore stories of God taking us outside the lines, as we imagine where that type of creativity and imagination might be needed in our world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Midwest Mission<\/strong> \u2013 Shampoo Needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Midwest Mission<\/a> works with trusted nonprofits to aid those who need help in four main areas.  Disaster relief,  Education,  Health, and Micro Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will be sending health kits to both the Ukraine (due to the war with Russia), as well as to Turkey following the earthquakes that have devastated that area. Currently, the biggest need is for shampoo in 12-19oz bottles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a collection box located near the name-tag bulletin board in The Commons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the website to learn about their mission statement and how they have helped others in need: midwestmission.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
