Beginning on September 13 and continuing through the month of September, we have Virtual God’s Work. Our Hands projects that individuals and households can do. Loving and serving our neighbors is needed now more than ever in this time of pandemic even though we cannot gather in large groups to serve together. We’d love to see pictures of your Virtual God’s Work. Our Hands activities. Send them to betsy@poproseville.org.
