The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown, it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. Matthew 13:31-32
An example of a project from 2010 from Lydia Schneider and Kay Greer: We decided to use the money to buy uniforms for the children at Shearn Elementary. When items were on sale, we bought eight shirts & four pairs of pants for boys and eight shirts and four skirts for girls in various sizes. We visited five resale shops and bought over 25 gently used uniform items. A visitor to St. John’s bought some brand new uniforms, and members of St. John’s gave cash donations and offered uniforms their children had outgrown. We delivered over 60 uniform items to Shearn the week before school started with notes handwritten by Lydia: “May you be blessed as you study and learn this school year — from friends who care about you.”
