Nice job everyone on Abundant Mint Project (AMP). Are you AMPed to put our creativity together to make art labels in Step 3 of AMP?
In the story of Ten Lepers we are recognizing our relationship to folks who are currently marginalized. Jesus told the lepers they were healed. Can our Abundant Mint Project bring healing to folxs?

Wonderful for so many to be together!
We worked on Step 2 of our Abundant Mint Project, separating the dried leaves from stems.
From The Message translation of Luke 17:5-10, CAC "Seat of the Pants Players" created a play ending with the "masters" feeding the "servants" and animals.
Thanks to our folx Cheryl, Nancy and Jenny for joining in.
