Join us Saturday, May 10th, for our Rebuilding Together Day! Even if you missed the signup in Milligan Hall, your help is still greatly appreciated. We'll be lending a hand to Sharon Monteforte, our homeowner for this year, at 3409 NW 22nd St. in Oklahoma City. Our goal, as always, is to ensure that when we're done, the home is safe, warm, and dry.
We kick off the day at 8am with a hearty spread of donuts and coffee to fuel our efforts. We will take a break mid-day for a lunch of sloppy joes. Our work continues until the project is completed, so come prepared for a day of meaningful teamwork.

This year's tasks include painting and caulking, door and window repairs, some bathroom tile repair, and yard work. If you have tools and equipment you can bring along to assist with these tasks, please label them clearly and ensure they're collected at the end of the day.

We still need some volunteers to bring donuts, bananas, oranges, chips, and soft drinks. Some snack foods like cheese crackers and granola bars would be great as well. Please use the email link below to let them know what you plan to bring. Thank you!

We're excited about the opportunity to support another member of our community and help ensure that Sharon can continue to reside comfortably in her home. Your presence and assistance will make a real difference, and we can't wait to see you there!

WEBS new book is:
"Worth Fighting For:  Finding Courage and Compassion when Cruelty is Trending" by John Pavlovitz

Join WEBS for engaging discussion online and in person on Wednesdays at 5:30pm beginning Apr. 16th as they explore Worth Fighting For: Finding Courage and Compassion when Cruelty is Trending by John Pavlovitz.

Worth Fight For by John PavlovitzJohn Pavlovitz's Worth Fighting For is a stirring playbook for Christians who strive to ensure that kindness triumphs over toxicity. Forthright and encouraging, Worth Fighting For envisions a grassroots revolution of love led by a 'compassionate coalition of those who give a damn.'"-Foreword Reviews

John Pavlovitz has inspired millions to keep boldly loving both neighbors and strangers throughout the years of Trump's hate-mongering campaign and presidency and continues to be a voice of sanity and urgency when so much is still at stake.

It's a scary time for America, with rights for women and transgender people being rolled back, the truth about Black history and experience being silenced, and unrestricted gun violence on the rise. People who value inclusion, compassion, and the common good are understandably anxious and angry-but we can't give up hope. We need motivation to keep fighting for justice.

This inspiring volume features Pavlovitz's most important writing from the past several years alongside brand-new essays to provide the encouragement, stamina, and direction we need to keep going, even when things feel bleak.
