January 22 - Staying Warm

It might be frigid outside, but we're staying warm and busy inside!  We still have plants going in the greenhouse and in the grow room upstairs.  The collards are bravely battling the cold in the greenhouse, but with the careful attention of our KWTS workers, I think they'll hold on until spring.  The hardy poinsettias are thriving in our growroom - who knows, maybe they'll be around for next Christmas!    

We also sorted some coats and gloves that were generously donated to All Peoples Church.  The coats will be sent to a different organization, but if your child is in need of hats, scarves, or gloves we have plenty to go around!

The rest of the workday was spend organizing cleaning supplies and then using them in the sanctuary and the rest of the church building.  

Finally, we ended the night with worship with families and the community.  The service starts at 6 every Wednesday and we hope you can join us!

  

 

January 15 - We're Back!

Not even the frigid Wisconsin winter could keep us from working and growing!  Though there's not a whole lot to do outside, we are keeping warm by doing projects inside the church.  Every week we need a group to set up for Wednesday Night Alive.  This fun, family-friendly program starts at 6 with worship and ends with a community meal.

We also watered the plants up in the grow room.  We haven't started too many plants, but the room is bright with the poinsettias from Christmas!  We'll try to keep those going until the spring.   

Usually I love all the projects equally, but this week I definitely had a favorite!  My office seemed a little empty without a good place for guests to sit.  So I recruited a KWTS group to make my office more welcoming by borrowing a couch from the office area.  I had to make a bit of a mess to make room for it!

I got a little nervous at this point; would the couch even fit through the door?

Success!  My office was still a mess, but now it's a mess with a couch in the middle!  Now that I've got a place to sit, hopefully I'll get a few more visitors.
