The book suggests that the opposite of poverty is not wealth, but shalom or peace. I like that. The opposite of poverty (which needs to be defined in a larger way than just lacking material things) is the presence of pervasive good (peace). More to come . . .

Grace and Peace to our Yard Work Teams!
Thank you to all who participated or who helped behind the scenes. We had a good turnout and were able to serve at five properties Sunday afternoon for four hours.
A huge thank you to Hillary and all who helped set up for the lunch. Much appreciated!
A gigantic thank you to my planning team for their help with coordination, communication, and collaboration: Bryce, Ami, Jon, Bill, and Chandler. Thank you also goes to Pastor Clay for helping with much of the running around, filling in, and generally supporting. Thank you to Pastor Chris for inspiring the members of The Well to participate.
I’m sure that Jesus was smiling yesterday as we served our neighbors!
