This is a terrific story! What a lot of great ideas this congregation had. The money distributed by the pastor was just a catalyst, of course; I’m sure most adults in the congregation had $50 that they could have “invested” on their own, if they’d just thought about it.
Pastor must be a great guy :o)
I’m thinking the Spirit breathed on this pastor...
It’s a great story.
It is a great story. And Tax-chick, you can count on the fact that the people of Chagrin Falls have plenty of “disposable” $50.
Chagrin Falls is a high end community with a small town feel. If you were to look for one community in America that looks like a Currier and Ives print, Chagrin is it. Quite frankly, I am surprised that a church of that size, in this environment, would rise to the challenge.
What an appropriate object lesson from the Bible.
