I see Thetis as such a special place isolated from so much of the evil that I can daily read of all about me, and working together in community allows me opportunity to see, appreciate, and encourage the good gifts, skills and abilities others have been given, ohhh may good prevail.
I enjoy being involved in our community because I believe in community. That one that is willing to work together will draw together as it focuses on a common goal rather than focusing on one's own personal agenda(s).
I believe that a community that works together grows stronger together and stays much longer together. Being involved with each other also gives us opportunity to see that others also have needs and that some things that seem like simple easy tasks from our perspective can be overwhelming tasks for others and vice versa, so when we chose to grow together in community our burdensome tasks are minimized along with others.
Thus a place to have things like "Soups On", where we can get out of our little corner of the woods and share our triumphs, joys n sorrows, and Community Christmases where we can lighten each other spirits boldly singing, Five Golden Rings and Praise to the King, and FUNraisers where we can kick up our heels in support of various great causes is a very needed common place where community can begin. I believe God loves a great party where His children acknowledge Him as the giver of all good things.
As we work together on this project, may we each choose to see and encourage each other's gifts, strengths, skills and abilities rather than others respective short comings and weaknesses.
