Reverse Offering

Are you looking for some suggestions on how to use the "Reverse Offering" that was distributed during worship yesterday?
During yesterday's worship services, everyone in attendance received an envelope with a certain amount of money in it, ranging anywhere from $5 to $20. The challenge over the next week was written on the card inside: "Use this gift for Good. Share the fact that it came from church. Come back and tell the story."
Need some suggestions?
There are lots of ways that you can share God's presence, be God's love for someone with such a little amount of money! Here are just a few suggestions:
As you go about your week, think about the ways that God's good work can be done in the world, and have a hand in doing that good work!
We will set up a page on our website so that, as we share our stories, they can be shared with the whole congregation! To submit your story, email Rev. Allie at scmofwi@gmail.com.
