Second Saturday Service

This Saturday is Second Saturday Service. We don't normally tell people what it is we're doing to serve, but we did let the cat out of the bag early for this one. It's another fun one to do, family friendly, helpful, and generates some pretty fun responses from people. It's our $1 car wash.

Now what makes it fun is that we have signs telling people that we're doing a $1 car wash, and then once we've washed and dried they're vehicle, while they think we're coming for the dollar, we GIVE them a dollar. People always look at us funny, in some state of disbelief or "what's the catch" and often try to give it back. We've had people get out and sing or perform for us, pray for us, thank us, and remember this particular project months later.

So come on out and bring your buckets, sponges, towels, soap, hoses, squeegees, sprayers or whatever else you feel like using - including $1 bills! Meet us at the Boys and Girls Club parking lot at 9:30AM and plan on eating lunch with us at noon. We'll see you Saturday.

While we are patiently waiting and praying for baby...Is S3 at 9:30 or 9? The e-mail says 9, but your blog says 9:30.

I'm not showing up until 9:30 if that answers your question. See you tomorrow.

Well OK then. I just was trying to clarify because I would hate for people to show up at 9:00 as the e-mail says and you won't be there....and get frustrated and leave.

Sorry Kim - that did sound pretty snappy didn't it? What I meant to say is I didn't send out the email with the wrong time so I didn't feel obligated to be there early.

Either way, we washed some cars with the people who showed up and saw some surprised looks for sure.
