One cool thing is that our being here has generated some interest in Henderson Settlement from churches and people in the Wyoming Conference, and the northeast US is not a region from which the Settlement typically receives a whole lot of support. (Much of their support comes from Ohio, Indiana, etc....states that are closer.) There are at least two workteams coming from Wyoming Conference this summer, and I know of a few groups who have decided to help the Settlement financially.
One of those groups is doing something especially creative, and I wanted to share that with all of you. Several of our friends attend (and pastor) the Park Terrace Community UMC. During Lent, the members of the church have been asked to give something up and to take the money that they would usually spend on that thing (coffee, candy bars, whatever) and give it to one of the four charities that they picked this year. This year, Henderson Settlement is one of those charities--hooray! You can read more about the project by clicking here.
We really appreciate our friends supporting our work here and the work of Henderson Settlement as a whole. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're welcome!
We're trying really hard to get a team together to come down in September as well. Dan Coleman as foreman, of course. Whether Dan can go or not depends on what work will get done.
I can lead an awesome painting and book sorting team....
