A Fundraiser of Another Kind
Here’s one you don’t have to write a check, sign a pledge card, attend an event, or even bake a cake. In fact, it is easy and may even take you on a trip down memory lane. Take a look in your jewelry box and see if there are any broken gold chains, single earrings, or items it is unlikely you will wear again (nor would your offspring want). If so, why not turn these past treasures into treasures that will have an eternal impact?
What has begun in a Sunday School class is now being shared with the entire congregation. In the past two months, class members and maybe a few friends have already raised $11,269 by donating their broken jewelry, unused silverware, and coins.
Your donations can be left in the church office or brought on Sunday. All collected gold and silver items are being turned in to a reputable dealer who, in turn, writes a check to IOHUMC to continue the work of the Lord as it is used to repair His gathering place. Let’s continue the work of answering His call.
