Together for Lincoln is a group activity that brings together families, friends, young and older, all for one common purpose: to make life a little better for someone else.

This year the group, which totaled an estimated 500 volunteers, worked on 67 projects. Some of the projects took more than just a day, some took much less.

Along the way, not only did this group touch the lives of those whom they helped, they also touched each other's lives with their giving spirit and kind attitudes. Needless to say, there were adults who set a good example for youngsters, but there were also youngsters who set a good example for everyone and shared a lesson that you are never too young or too small or too insignificant to make a difference in the lives of others.

As those who attend Jefferson Street Christian Church already know, their preaching minister, Dustin Fulton, will be leaving the area soon, so this will be his last year with Together for Lincoln.  Fulton has served TFL since day one and has seen all the great things that have come from this group.

In a final note he wrote:

"I got a chance today to run around and visit a few projects and talk with some of the home owners who were being blessed with new windows and ramps. It was great to see the smiles on their faces and the tears in their eyes, as well as the joy on the faces of all of the volunteers. I have always believed that God provides for those who are in need. Through Together for Lincoln, I have learned that God wants to use us to be a part of that provision. Of all the things I have learned from our 7 years in Lincoln, the principles behind Together for Lincoln will be the most valuable that I take with me to our next ministry."
