In Rwanda, the entire country takes one Saturday a month to do community service projects - roads are shut down, and everyone is mandated to spend time working alongside one another. They call that day Umuganda, which means “come together” in kinyarwandan. Now, we won’t be instituting fines for not attending like the Rwandan government, but we want to learn from their intentionality and set aside regular times for us to do projects around our Parish, Park and Farm.

One Saturday morning each month we will have our own Umuganda day from 8am-12pm - you can come for the whole time or come for an hour. We will have a hot breakfast at the beginning and a short time of morning prayer together before breaking out to various jobs and projects.
