This weekend we start a new series called Pocket Change and if you could help me out with it, I'd really appreciate it. We are raising money by collecting coins until Feb 28th and I want you to bring loose change to church. We will be collecting it in the lobby in a giant bin and I'm going to start it out this weekend by putting $27 in it that was loose change in the drawers of my desk at church. Yes, I had $27 in change in my desk drawers! Here's why, whenever I go to preach I hate having change in my pockets so I put it in my desk becasue if it's in my pockets it makes noise. I'm not sure how long I've been collecting this change but I'm thrilled to start this out with $27 of pocket change!
If you can remember to bring your change this week, please help us get it started strong. I'm hoping that we raise thousands of dollars and the first $10,000 will go to Jesus Delivers, a ministry we help with that feeds people in the inner city of St.Paul. Let's see how our Pocket Change can change the world!
Oh, I LOVE this. I can't wait for this sermon. Thanks for being a pastor who promotes serving the community! You've inspired us to start DOING. Check out http://thoushaltdo.blogspot.com
