Sharing the Love!
As you’ll see in the photos, heart-shaped lawn stakes and signs reading “St. Paul’s Episcopal Church…Sharing the Love” were purchased.
A few hearts and a “Sharing the Love” sign are being placed in parishioners’ yards every few days. Each recipient receives a note encouraging them to “choose where love will grow next.”
This creative, but simple act has brought smiles to faces and encouragement during a time when both are much needed.
