The Clarion Ledger reports that on Saturday, more than 200 volunteers answered the call of the United Way for its National Day of Action, reaching out to communities that need help.
A team of volunteers also did some landscaping at the Mission First Clinic in Jackson. In Madison, a group helped build a house for a low-income family. In Rankin County, volunteers built a playground at the Center for Violence Protection.

As I read about how these volunteers have chosen to spend the day, I am thinking about two of this week' s lections:
"The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God," Romans 6:10.
"Whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worth of me," Matthew 10:33.
