By Thank you to the groups that helped us prepare our yards for Spring! It was tough work, and these folks were out in the rain (and thankfully, later the sun) chopping, weeding, shoveling, you name it. A special shout out to the men of the Xavier Center for Faith and Justice, Xavier Navigators, Common Ground, and the St. Monica-St. George Confirmation group.
Community Forum Recap
Thank you to all who participated in the community forum last week! It was a great opportunity to hear stories of a wide variety of those who live, work, worship, spend money, and raise children in Norwood. We heard from community leaders planned the event and have been working hard organizing citizens, praying, naming the challenges, and planning next steps. Attendees had the opportunity to break into small groups for sharing their own experiences and visions for the future of the city. We also shared food and conversation after the event, and many participants decided to commit to further action
Volunteer Spotlight: Juli Thompson
Juli Thompson, a professional photographer, has been a friend of our ministry since our earliest days. As we were getting started she shot the first photo shoot of “before” pictures from our house before the renovation, she’s photographed events for us, the final photo shoot of 2024 Mills, and once we opened she told us “I’d love to take pictures of your guests.” Of course, we’ve taken her up on the offer. Juli’s contribution to our work is a great example of a volunteer using her specific gifts to make life at Lydia’s House richer and more joyful. Each time
