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.
It looked to me as if some of the projects discussed in the article would have required an extra investment from the church members, in addition to the church’s contribution.
I told my husband about this last night, and he thought it was really cool. I suspect that he’ll think it over for a while (weeks?) and then offer a deal to our children or the Cub Scouts, to come up with a creative way to raise money for charity.
