The next Home Fellowships are next Sunday, June 4! Host homes are still needed—please contact Barbie in the
church office if you want to volunteer!
For members living in the zip codes listed below, please contact the host home if you plan to attend. We are asking
attendees to bring a snack to share with the group.
Why do we allow kids to eat donuts all over the campus? It seems our
church runs best, or at least happiest, when we provide plenty of caffeine and
sugar on Sunday morning. The funny thing about kids and donuts is this: the
kids aren’t the people bringing donuts. They are the cleanup crew to consume
whatever is left after morning Bible study or choir rehearsal. We have had
some challenges with kids entering rooms before adult classes are over to get
the sugary treats and they usually consume them on the spot or as soon as
possible in a convenient place. Perhaps we ought to purchase fewer donuts,
deny access to the room until we are ready to dismiss and restrict the number
of donuts that are available to any particular child. None of those ideas are
likely to prevail in practice. Some of our departments in West Tower send
excess treats to the receptionist desk and Kathy Lynn dispenses them with
caution to keep kids from becoming too sugared up. I appreciate the
generosity and kindness extended to kids in every way, particularly at church.
But, one last thought…respond to the children as you would your own. It is
my guess that you would not provide too much sugar to your own child, that
you would provide a napkin and that you would expect the napkin to be used.
You may even require your child to sit down to eat. We are reinforcing the
role of relationships in the church and I would hope that everyone will see the
church as a warm and welcoming place and that includes the brief relationship
between the donut givers and donut consumers. Learn the names of the
children. Speak to them when you seen them around campus. God has given
us these children to raise spiritually. Lets do a good job with that in every
way, including the dispensing of warm, tasty, fat-laden, doughy, melt-in-your-
mouth, donuts. After that description, you want one too, right?

GRACE OF GIVING
What is the “grace of giving” (2 Cor. 8:7)? Pastor and author Gene Getz points out how the Macedonians exhibited the grace of giving in a way that was spontaneous, eager and sacrificial. Nowhere in Scripture are Christians commanded to give away what is absolutely necessary for their own existence. But the believers in Macedonia gave anyway. There was no coercion. They were eager to help meet other Christian’s material needs. But a more significant reason than human need prompted this sacrificial generosity. They gave “themselves first to the Lord” - which is the larger context in which Christians are to use their material possessions. It involves, first of all, presenting our bodies as “living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God” (Rom. 12:1).
