We Gotta Step It Up A Little

My apologies to those who are not in our student ministry, this is more of a housekeeping one today.

Last night we had our "Football" Party. We asked people to bring some food and drinks if they could, but we also said that everything was free. At the beginning of the night, we asked that we not forget our Compassion Children we sponsor and give to them, especially as one student put it, since we're eating all this food for free watching a big TV while they need food. So how did we do?

$5.50, a little over a nickel per person that was there.

I know we can do a lot better than that guys and gals. Every single penny we take in for offering at Fire & Water goes to feed people overseas, so please give generously.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~Luke 12:33-34
