Do you love working with children? We could use your help!
Holly is looking for Sunday School volunteers, and it would be wonderful if everyone could serve once a quarter. Please sign up at the Connection Point to help with LifeBridge Sunday School, Monticello Sunday School, or both!
It takes a village! Thank you for helping make Sunday mornings special for our children!

Christmas in October
Christmsas in October
1. Cut up, remove and stack fallen tree limbs from the recent storm (Keith will bring his chain saw) 2. Replace front steps (with deeper ones and add a handrail)3. Replace all screen on front porch (and its storm door); replace broken storm door handle.4. Insulate and attach drywall on a small wall in the basement5. Handrails (pipe-type) for rear door and steps to the street6. Replace rear storm door7. Re-attach gutters and fascia boards at two corners (home is a 1-story so Little Giant ladders should suffice)8. Replace a commode wax ring9. If several of you are willing, exterior painting. Prep will include power washing; we have a power washer available.
Our buddies Ken and Andrew will be doing roving electrical that day but Ken wants to get the electrical work done on this house before October 3. A leaking water heater will be replaced the day before; and Bob M is taking on replacing a tub with a shower stall.
We're told this is a safe neighborhood and have seen small kids playing in the street. A nice change!
We'll schedule a Google Meet video call the week before to help with the planning.
Let me know if you can join us. If you can recruit others, so much the better!

Johnson County
Christmas Bureau
We collect new toys & other needed items in October for the Johnson County Christmas Bureau and volunteer to serve at the JCCB's Holiday Shop in December.
During the nine-day Holiday Shop many local companies, families, groups and individuals help to accomplish the needed Holiday Shop.
Each year it takes over 3,000 volunteers to assist the over 13,000 neighbors of Johnson County during the holiday season. We are neighbors helping neighbors!
