MONEY

I got a note in the mail from Bert Crabbe who pastors True North Church in nearby Port Jefferson Station (http://www.truenorthchurch.net). This is how it reads -

Roger,

Heard you guys couldn't have church last weekend cause of the heat. That must have been a killer financially speaking. Hope this helps.

Peace,

Bert

And there's a substantial check in there from their church to ours! Is that pretty amazing our what? I know it's how churches are meant to be with each other, but let's face it we all know it's not the way it generally works out.

Man, that blessed me.

You know what blessed me more? ... We don't really need it - because although we missed a Sunday service and that day's offering, our folks mailed in their checks, gave online, or put two weeks offering in last weekend. So we actually didn't miss a beat financially. That's not the way things generally work out either.

But we won't rob Bert and True North of the blessing they'll get from being generous!
