Cell phone recycling

Cell phones, desk jet cartiges, and laser jet cartiges can now be recycled at church.  Next to the mailboxes is a basket to place the items in.  These will get mailed off during the J+P meetings every two months and the money received goes directly to MCC.  The plan is to have this in place this week with a notice in the midweek notables, the news letter and the bulletin.  Is someone willing to announce this at church during sharing time or should we wait a bit.

Freedom School Training

The Freedom School volunteer training went very well last night with a good turnout.  Joel and John presented the program, needs and a bit of the philosophy to the volunteers.  The various books that will be used were also sitting out so we could look at them.  It was enjoyable to see some of the cheers and how the freedom school will act and interact.  I'm glad our church is participating in this and expect it will be a good addition. 

 

There were some questions as to whether our church is the first Caucasian church in KC to host Freedom School, and with a significant number of scholars being Hispanic whether the curriculum will slowly modify to meet that ethnic group.  Seems like the Freedom School directing body will have some interesting issues to struggle with as they grow and work toward expanded relevance.
