Christ Community School sponsors 3 children from Compassion International. Don't forget to encourage your precious little ones to bring an offering if it's on their heart. Any amount is dear to our Lord if it comes from a generous, happy heart. I'm reminded of the story of the poor woman in Mark chapter 12...
"And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums.42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them,“Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
Mark 12: 41- 44
I know some students may feel like a penny is useless to bring, but like this story tells us,
It's not the amount that matters, but the heart behind our giving. The Lord knows our circumstances and will bless whatever we give, big or small. :)
I have an offering box in my room where the students can bring money any day of the week. Each Wednesday at Chapel starting September 25th, we will put our class offering into the Christ Community School "Compassion International" fund! The sooner we begin collecting for this, the more we can bring to the table September 25th.
Thanks for being wonderful!!!!!
In Christ's love,
Mrs. Houck
