To Hiroshima with love...

Tim and Debra Larson are leading one of our new sermon based small groups.
Each of our small groups are trying to identify a way to get involved together in serving our community.

The Larson's group came up with a fantastic idea. They decided to try to make a difference by offering their support to Barkstall School, where the Launch meets. The good folks at Barstall took them up on their offer and asked them to help string together a thousand peace cranes which had been folded by the students of Barkstall school. The strings of cranes are being sent to Hiroshima, Japan.

Below is a picture of the finished product!

  1. What a fantastic idea! What if each small group on their own began asking Barkstall what we might do to make a difference around there? I think the impact of these seemingly small subtle things would make such a gentle impact. Sometimes a big church-wide push can appear self-serving to the recipient. I love what you all did!
