Tree of Life, Inverness, FL
We have been involved in 1-1-1 from the beginning and our first quarterly (actually about 14 weeks) contribution was $212. This past quarter we collected $191. It may not seem like much, but during the summer with an average of around 20 people in church per Sunday, that's probably 100%. Fortunately, we have been at 100% since we began the program. We will continue and with Pastor Steinke at the helm, we hope to increase our membership.
This is actually a slow time of the year, since some of our members are "snowbirds" and are gone until the fall.
Here is a photo of Sue, a member of Tree of Life, putting her weekly contribution into our 1-1-1 box.

There is power and strength in many giving a little."

Middle School Jerusalem Breakfast: What goes into this breakfast? On Sunday morning, Teacher Deb Geisler, prepares the following: cooked barley loaf, 16 flat breads, fried fish, and chicken cooked with onions & garlic in olive oil. In addition to those items also being served will be almonds, pistachios, watermelon & cantaloupe (melons), cucumbers in vinegar, figs, dates, raisins, grapes, cheese curds, honey with honeycomb, and of course non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice (that's their favorite).
|
|
As they enjoy the food, the youth share a story from the Bible that mentions each of these foods. Deb has a real passion for middle school youth and putting on this breakfast. To set the scene, Deb creates a low table by using the long cushions from the couches and some big boxy low chairs from the youth room. Then she lays a plastic folding table on top. Youth sit on pillow cushions from the couches.
