Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. There is an old teaching about a scholar who studied…

Worm Composting
Worm Composting The Daisy Girl Scouts who meet at College Park have put together a worm composting bin against the fence facing the playground, and they welcome scraps from groups using the church kitchen. The worms like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and filters, rinsed eggshells, paper, bread and pasta. Please avoid composting dairy products, meat, spicy or salty foods, citrus peels, oils and processed/pre-packaged foods. The girls have posted signs in the kitchen as reminders. Just use the purple spade in the food pantry (or a stick) to push aside the top layer of newspaper, deposit the food and re-cover it. Please contact annekrishnan@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you…
