It Takes a Village, Part 2

Ron, Marty, Paul, Justin, and pork chops on-a-stick
 

Barnabas was an early Christian who, among other things, did missionary work with the Apostle Paul.  "Barnabas" means "son of help" or "son of encouragement".  There is a "Barnabas" group at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Watertown, MN and that's what they do:  help and encourage.  They offer free community meals and take meals to homeless shelters, and are ready and willing to help whenever needed. 
The Barnabas group hosted a fundraiser for us in May.  It featured fabulous food* and gave us the chance to visit with lots and lots of people.  The event did exactly what Barnabas was called to do:  help and encourage.
We're grateful for this group which is enabling us to do the same thing:  help and encourage the children and staff at Robin's Nest.  

*If you ever see an event serving "Uncle Neddy's Famous Pork Chops On a Stick", go to it!  Steve and Diane Neddermeyer have a heart for service, a heart for Robin's Nest, and they prepare perhaps the world's best pork chops.  You'll go back for seconds!
