FaithWork: God's Love in Action is a new "hands-on" outreach ministry at Acton UMC. We began on Saturday, March 13 when four dedicated folks helped a neighbor in the Rancho Brazos community clean his lot. Not only did we share the work, but we shared God's love and grace as our hearts and hands combined to clean up the world a bit. We'll be working again this Saturday, march 21 . . . meet at 9:30 at the Rancho Brazos Community Center.

In addition, we're well on our way to increasing the bunny and chick population of the world by offering persons the opportunity to give a live Easter gift to someone in need around the world through Heifer, International. So far, we've provided 15 sets of chicks and 6 sets of rabbits. Those are real Easter bunnies.

Upcoming FaithWork projects: Monday, April 5 . . . meet at AUMC at 9:00 AM and we'll travel to work at the Rainbow Room, a support ministry for caseworkers and families in the Child Protective Services system. Persons of all ages and skill sets are invited to come as we help to change the world one family at a time.

On Saturday, April 17, we'll be joining other churches in the Granbury community with Love Granbury Kindness Explosion. Look for us around the community with our bright green reusable bags offering assistance and random acts of kindness showing the love of Jesus. Contact me if you want more information.

If you have other ideas for FaithWork projects, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you with your ideas.
