As part of Bruton’s year-long recognition of our 350th Anniversary of the church’s founding, we invite parishioners and our Friends of Bruton to perform Random Acts of Kindness and tell us about them. We will post a giant heart in the Parish House displaying at least 350 examples of selfless concern for the welfare of others. Selfless acts are consistent with our Christian values. We invite you to share in this project by telling us your Random Act of Kindness. Just tell us what your act was, approximately when you performed it, where you performed it (i.e., Williamsburg, Cleveland, the UK), and if you wish, your name. Please email it to [email protected]
