2013 Together for Lincoln, September 23, 2013
Special edition of LINCOLN DAILY NEWS.com Page 3
This year, there were also funds raised for the
Oasis Senior Center to aid recovery after the
destructive fire earlier this year.
In its core message, Together for Lincoln
encourages everyone in the community to
take this kind of service day and turn it into a
way of life.
There are some volunteers who work
year-round, such as the wheelchair ramp
construction group, to give a little help where
it is needed.
This year, families will be warmer, safer and
more comfortable as a result of the many
individuals who happily shared their time,
gifts and resources on this day.

Fulton had this reflection on his
experience with Together for Lincoln:
Even with all of the stress that comes
with preparing and planning for
Together for Lincoln, it is by far my
favorite ministry activity of the year.
Since this is my last time in town for
Together for Lincoln, it was more than a
bit emotional.
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.
I have the easiest job with Together
for Lincoln. From the beginning, I have
been the PR coordinator. That means
I get to be the one to go around and
talk about all the good stuff that is
happening.
I am so thankful to work with the dozen
or so volunteers on our leadership
team. They do such a tremendous
job preparing all of the projects and
organizing the volunteers. That is
where the true heart of Together for
Lincoln resides and who keeps this
great ministry going from year to year.
