It is an awesome privilege to worship and live in community with people who really want to be like Christ! Over the last few weeks, I saw you give almost 100 coats, sweaters and sweatshirts away to the needy in the Metroplex. Then Sunday, we brought some further needs...friends who were homeless, inner city kids who need to go to Summer Camp, needy kids in Nicaragua who need shoes...and I asked everyone to bring $5 per person, so we could put at least $20-25 in each envelope.
Well, lo and behold some of you don't know the difference between 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 dollar bills (yeah, that's right $50!). So, every envelope had $100 or more in it when I was done sorting and we will be able to send three kids to camp in addition to all the other needs. Thanks for your generosity...and be prepared that Bill, Amy and Cyndi will be bringing us some thoughts in a couple of weeks on how we can continue to minister 'in our own league'.
Much love to all of you, and may you have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!
