For my interview weekend here at Memorial Drive, the theme for Sunday morning was "Double Your Greatness". I couldn't pass up the idea of having a logo made similar to the Doublemint Gum logo (thanks to my brother-in-law Jeff), and putting it on 500 sticks of gum to hand out that morning.
Now, a year later, we're coming up with ideas for the story of Moses parting the Red Sea, and Jeanne mentions Big Red Gum. Well, that's too good to pass up as well. So, here's what we're handng out this week:
Fun, fun. I just hope they don't make me personally go around the whole building and clean all of the gum from under tables, chairs, pews, in carpet, ...

Thank you, Shane, thank you. :-)

Wes - I love it. I'll keep that in the back of my mind.

Good question and comment. Yes, for Americans, I expect it. However, Christians, if we are following Jesus, shouldn't mind getting in trouble from time to time. If we need a text, here it is (The Message translation). From Mark 11:
They arrived at Jerusalem. Immediately on entering the Temple Jesus started throwing out everyone who had set up shop there, buying and selling. He kicked over the tables of the bankers and the stalls of the pigeon merchants. He didn't let anyone even carry a basket through the Temple. And then he taught them, quoting this text: My house was designated a house of prayer for the nations; You've turned it into a hangout for
he put it on his knee? Heehee... Yup... that's my boy. I can't tell you how proud I am at this moment. :)
