****Another update is typed in bold within the original post regarding the shepherd's guidelines. I wish to be in full compliance. Thank you.****
***Update***: We are also now selling Harp's coupon books for $5 each. They contain over $50 worth of coupons, including one for $5 off your next grocery purchase of $50 or more so they basically pay for themselves! Anyone who purchases a coupon binder for $20 will receive a coupon book for free! I will also be giving away some at the class as door prizes so please make plans to attend. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in a coupon book and/or binder so I have an idea of how many to order as well as if you are planning to attend the class so I have enough handouts for everyone. Thanks!
Our church is doing something that I've never seen done before and I can't wait to see the result! They are calling it "Investing in the Journey" and the goal is to raise money to purchase much-needed buses while at the same time teaching biblical principles. The principle here is based on the Parable of the Talents. The kick-off for this Christian "fundraiser" is this coming Sunday where instead of putting money in the collection plate, money will be distributed to members of the congregation. We are then to take that money, increase it, and then bring back the fruits of our efforts a few weeks later on what is being called "Celebration Sunday". When I first heard about this, I started trying to figure out what talents I have that could be lucrative. I mean, I certainly don't want to be "the lazy and wicked servant", ya know what I mean? ;) I prayed about it and a few things finally came to mind. I can sing, so I guess I could have chosen to do something like singing telegrams but that seemed a little too junior high for a soon-to-be 35 year old. haha What else? Well, I'm good at bargain shopping and saving money...you know, finding good deals. I'm a pretty good teacher, too...I think. Anyway, that's when I decided to try having my own coupon class...
