Now the blog:
Last week I reflected on voting your values. I hope you did.
This week, I want you to act on your values, and if one of your values is to be compassionate, I urge you to sign up for the trip to Gretna (near New Orleans) during the Christmas break (December 30-January 8).
Here’s what you get for $250:
- Round trip passage to Gretna
- Food while you’re there
- An opportunity to serve those who have been busted by Hurricane Katrina
- Worship opportunities with a progressive bunch
- A week out of Omaha
Interested folks should give me a call or email me and I'll send you an application. You can be a member of any faith group.
