On Saturday, August 6th, we hosted a Totally Free (TF) - all donations refused - car wash from 12 noon to 3Pm. I am amazed at how difficult this was - to get people to pull into our lot - because they did not believe that it was free. "What's the catch?" was the attitude. I had people insisting that we take money - and what I told them was, "We just wanted to show you God's love in a practical way. As we have blessed you, go bless someone else." People couldn't believe it! But I should have said, "This car wash is free, just like God's love is free." OK - next time, right?
I want to thank those who participated - Lee Thompson - who arranged the whole car wash. Thanks to the many teens who showed up - Kay & Pete, Cassie & Kara, Seth, Sam, Amy, Michael and Becca - along with the kids - Zander, Kayla, and Austin. Thank you to the adults - Kathy, Kriss, Krista, Terry - who helped out.
I would like to do one more TF Car Wash on Saturday September 10, from noon to 3pm. I would actually like to be a little more organized with this one, do some advertising, get some t-shirts made for the participants, and get some more adult help, specifically for the car washing and organizing the parking lot when cars are driving in and out. If you can help out on this day, please contact me and mark it in your calendar. This could be a great community outreach.
Thanks again to all who participated.

Kregg,
Not a problem washing the truck, man! It was all good. I will try to approach it a little differently when we do the wash in September. Feel free to park your truck this next time and grab a sponge! ;)

Ignore that last comment made by who knows...if that stuff keeps up, we will have to go to a members only format. And I am unable to delete the comment, if I don't delete the whole blog. I will try again later.
By the way, if you do consider calling that number - be aware that it is $5 immediately and a dollar for every minute - in 5 minutes, that's a $10 phone call - only for suckers. Come to church and find someone to connect with - the LORD! :)
