It's incredible what can be accomplished when you put together the efforts of several people. Over the past week we have experienced that in the remodel/renovation of our building. Many hands have painted, tiled, laid stone, mulched, planted, trimmed, cleaned...and the list goes on!

What's unfortunate is that in our busy-ness, it sometimes calls for a herculean effort to get the wheels of cooperation going. While you would think that the evidence would motivate us to work smarter, not harder - together, not separately - it often doesn't seem to happen. Let's change that!

As families, as neighbors, as a church, let's determine not to wait for some special appeal to pool our efforts, but instead combine our strengths to accomplish great stuff for God's Kingdom all of the time.
