February 5 - Fruity Nutty contest

Sometimes at KWTS there is work to be done that is not very enjoyable.  Luckily this week that was not the case!  All Peoples Church is sending in an entry to the Victory Garden Initiative's Fruity Nutty contest, where the prize is an orchard!  In our work for food justice, a community orchard would be extremely beneficial.  Part of our contest entry was a creative project that explained why we want an orchard, so this week the KWTS workers got to help.  Some students attempted to write raps, while others used their artistic talents to make signs.  We submitted our entry last week and we'll keep you updated on our status.

January 29 - Hanging Out With Martin Luther

This week was pretty normal with one exception.  We did the regular tasks, like tending the plants in the greenhouse and the grow room, cleaning the sanctuary, and setting up for Wednesday Night Alive.

But this week we had a special project - cleaning out the sacristy!  It's a secret room off of the small prayer chapel that holds most of the supplies for worship.  Over time it's been filled with a lot of random things, like candle holders, choir robes, Bibles, fake flowers, picture frames, drums, and a whole bunch more.  We pulled it all out just to see how much there was.

But the best thing we found?  A bust of Martin Luther!  Who know that was in there?!  We had a good time hanging out with him for a bit while we straightened everything out.

And at the end of the work day everything looked great again.  I'm sure Martin appreciated all of the hard work that was done to tidy up his home.
