On October 20, 2024, some two dozen members of the church donned their orange vests. Then they bowed their heads in prayer and blessing of their morning’s work and set out to various locations in Bristol to carry out a ministry of helping others. This is our annual “Church Has Left the Building” Sunday. From toddlers to seniors, groups set out to help out with some home landscaping work for a member who needed our help. Others pulled invasive vines off the back of the church building. Still others foraged the roadsides and parks for litter and other clean-up jobs.
Thanks to everyone who participated. We all got more out of our morning’s efforts — in fellowship, satisfaction, and exercise — than we put in.
