Hey all. I was wondering if your particular churches did anything like school giveaways or any other kind of giveaways? Ours started doing giveaways about a year ago, when our new pastor came in, and some people around here weren't too fond of that, because we gave without question. That, and all the people who liked to pretend they were poor to avoid tithing that extra bit or whatever, had to come face-to-face with actual people who were poor enough to be begging for a hot-dog since they hadn't eaten since 3 days earlier.
Anyway, I'm glad we've started these, and I just wanted to see how far behind/ahead of other congregations we are, as far as how long we've been doing them.
Plus, this might provide for some opportunity to share a truly wonderful outreach story or two or 50...
