Revolutionizing Community Support: St. John's Episcopal Church's Innovative Labor Hub In this episode, we highlight a groundbreaking ministry effort at St. John's Episcopal Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Hosted by Evan Lambert, President of Community Power New Mexico, this video showcases the Labor Hub - the first of its kind in the nation. This unique initiative includes a tool library, materials bank, and educational center, all designed to assist community members who cannot afford contractor services or materials. Everything offered is donated and free to the community. The video also provides a tour of the hub, detailing the various tools, materials, and resources available, and discusses the broader impact and replicable nature of the project. Dive deep into how this project is bridging material and spiritual gaps and learn about the collective efforts to uplift the community amid high poverty rates. 00:00 Introduction to the New Ministry Effort 00:40 Overview of the Labor Hub 01:36 Personal Stories and Community Impact 04:22 Tour of the Workshop and Tools 08:21 Addressing Poverty and Systemic Issues 11:39 Community Engagement and Future Plans 23:40 Introduction to the Rio Grande Ministry 00:21 Meet Evan Lambert and the Labor Hub 00:45 Tour of the Tool Library and Materials Bank 01:37 Personal Stories and Community Impact 03:08 The Vision and Mission of the Labor Hub 04:35 Restoration and Community Involvement 05:39 Public Workshop and Volunteer Efforts 08:21 Addressing Poverty and Systemic Issues 12:19 Expanding the Vision Beyond Alamogordo 17:46 Conclusion and Future Plans
