At the beginning of the month we began a Coin war at church. This was to raise money for the 3 feeding centers on the central plateau of Haiti, that are run by the missionaries that we support. Four staff members volunteered to take a "pie" in the face if they collected the most coins. (we only counted coins, not monetary value)
Our Senior pastor, our Youth pastor, our Worship leader and our children and families minister volunteered! There was quite the competition. You know, that whole serving attitude that went something like this, "I'm Chuck and I really endorse Joe for this." "Vote for Lora. Signed Joe." Look who won! We won't know for certain the exact dollar amounts until tomorrow,but I am excited about the totals. The real winner in all of this are those
children served by the feeding centers! This was a wonderful, spirited competition and our "winner" was graceful and a great sport! The pie thrower was drawn randomly from a list of many who threw their names into the hat! Maybe next year we can earn extra from the pie tosser, too. And to top it all off, over 100 kids were sponsored. They will receive packages filled with fun and necessary 'stuff'.
