Im sorry to say that I don't have pictures to show you right now, but I still have to tell you this cool story. Earlier in the week I posted the story of our High School girls' Temporary Tattoo parlor and how they were accepting donations for the missions offering, to be collected during Thursday night's worship service.
Well, chaperon Dwight McKee was so moved by the girls' creative and thoughtful endeavor, that on Tuesday they all made a deal - if "Temp Tats" could raise $200 by Thursday night, Dwight would shave off his mustache. He has had a mustache for 30 years now! This was a bit deal.
Everyone banded together and rose to the challenge. Temp Tats went into full swing and all of their "customers" were very generous with their donations. By tonight, Thursday, half the camp was tattooed and even more importantly, Temp Tats had collected $361 for the missions offering!
I wish I had pictures to show - they will be coming - but Dwight was true to his word. We all gathered around as Jamison Lloyd went at his beloved mustache with a barbers care. Sorry Kelly, but it was certainly for a good cause! :)
The mustache is gone and the offering is in. What a night!
BTW, this year's Passport offering is going to Water for Life International. Similar to Watering Malawi, Water for Life is a non-profit organization that helps to drill wells and provide potable water for impoverished villages in Africa. It will also go to support the CBF field personnel who are working with these communities where the wells are being drilled.
