Someone Donated A Classic Car
Today was a weird day at Compass Point. Attendance was way down because the public schools were out for Spring Break. Last week's attendance was down because the colleges were out for Spring Break. I'm ready for all of these days off for school and time changes to be over with. I can't wait for Easter to get here and us get back into the normal swing of things.
Even with low attendance we still had a bunch of guests...and a bunch of elementary school children. Not many of our regulars...just a bunch of new kids. It was pretty cool and it really pumped up our children's volunteers. They are getting a new children's program in place for Sundays which we will launch on Easter Sunday. Today was a really good boost for them as we heard nothing but rave reviews from the parents and children.
The most bizarre...and coolest thing that happened today was that one of our Elders donated a freakin' classic car. No joke. It is a 1960 Studebaker Lark. The outiside needs a little work, but the inside is immaculate and the engine runs like a dream. Above is a photo of a bunch of us taking it around the YMCA parking lot for a spin. I have no real clue what we are going to do with. We may put one of those wraps around it to do some advertising...at the very least we'll take it around town to some of the classic car shows. All in all, it could be a pretty cool discussion starter at public places in order to build relationships. I'm pretty excited about it. I mean how many church plants out there has ever had a Studebaker donated??? Compass Point is just...well...unique!
By the way, we also have a guy at our church that owns 3...yes, 3...Dodge Vipers. Two that are street legal and one for racing. Now if I could just get him to make a donation... :-)
Sweet ride!
