Wednesday night at Awana we handed out Pop-Out sponsor forms and kids made a commitment to fast soda (or other junk foods) from November 1st to Thanksgiving. We'll be doing this same thing this Sunday morning with any kids that weren't here on Wednesday. We encourage you to help your kids get some sponsors to give them a dime a nickel or dime a day for the 21 days that they sacrifice. This is another fundraiser for BGMC to help us toward our goal of $3,000 this year. We're only at about $2,000 so we've got a considerable distance to go and only 2 months left to raise it. This is our last push so we hope everyone will participate and see that gap shrink.
To receive the can of soda on Nov. 23rd, kids have to show us their sponsor sheet with at least 5 names on it (turning in money with it is a bonus, but we'll give them more time after that to collect and that won't stop them from getting their soda can with their name on it).
And remind your kids that this is ultimately for the kingdom of God, not for a cheap can of soda. We want our kids to understand that we give and sacrifice for God's glory and for people to hear the truth unto salvation, right? Amen!
See you Sunday as we look at Commandment #7: Do not commit adultery! (We'll be focusing on loyalty and keeping promises on an age-appropriate level for this one.)
