Maxwell Street Youth Group - Lexington, KY

Maxwell Street Youth Group at McConnell’s Springs today having a conversation with a 250 year old burr oak!

May your inner eye
See through the surfaces
And glean the real presence
Of everything that meets you.

May your soul beautify
The desire of your eyes
That you might glimpse
The infinity that hides
In the simple sights
That seem worn
To your usual eyes.

- From “For the Senses” by John O’Donohue

It's the time of year we especially give to our community and neighbors. Normally, our youth get to give their energy, time, and thought into shopping together for gifts and volunteering at Westminster Village. This year, we've taken on more neighbors to give gifts to so that every youth family has the opportunity to spend some time shopping online or in a store together as a way to give time, energy, and gifts. We have a family and 4 women at Westminster Village to give gifts for! Below is a link to sign-up for gifts for the Martinez family! They need to be ready by next week! If you're willing to adopt one of the 4 Westmister Village women, please let Rachel know!

Please see the available gifts left to give below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you! We can go above requested if able (ex: clothes can be more than one outfit). Feel free to signup for more tha one gift if able, too. Any questions, email Rachel ([email protected])

We raised a lot of money for hunger programs this weekend raking yards thanks to the generosity of MSPC members. It was a great way to get outside and take a break from technology. We've got a handful more yards to rake this month!

Please sign up to rake a yard too! You can sign up even if there's not a house next to it (some people are waiting to see when their leaves will mostly fall). Lend your rake to helping your youth group raise money for the hunger programs that are helping so many this COVID, winter season.

As church member donate to the CROP walk and sign-up to have their yard raked, volunteer slots will appear on this signup. Each week in the youth mailer there will be a reminder that slots have appeared and need to be filled along with the sign-up link. Thank you for signing up to help the youth sp...
