“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God."
Exodus 20:8

KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY. What is this all about? Does this piece of the Law feel to you like a burden or a gift? The Pharisees criticized Jesus several times for flouting the fourth commandment. Jesus had some things to say, of course. We are still listening. At least we will try to, tomorrow.

SERVE TOGETHER SUNDAY

May 30th! Same as per usual; drop off’s at church from 10:30-Noon.

Here is an updated list from Christina Smith this week, for Aurora Commons:

“Thank you for your faithful support of our neighbors at the Commons. Here is a list of our ongoing wants/needs:

  • men’s clothing and shoes
  • undergarments and socks (preferably new) – we do have some funding to purchase socks and underwear but not enough to meet the demand. Also, our bras are supplied through donations.
  • individual serving, shelf-stable soft snacks, and drinks – we are purchasing food for the burritos and sandwiches we serve but rely on donations for additional snacks and beverages to serve our neighbors. Due to COVID limiting us from inviting neighbors inside to access the kitchen, these snacks are helpful.
  • outdoor gear – tents, tarps, blankets, and/or sleeping bags
  • purses filled with a journal or notebook, gel pens, 1-2 makeup items, a note reminding our neighbors that they are loved – this was an idea that originated from a donation put together by a mother & daughter. We distributed the purses to women visiting our S.H.E. Clinic and they were a hit. One of our donations volunteers has continued to put together purses filled with these types of items received but the demand will outpace our supply.
