"Clipping for a Cause" Donation: 71 Items Purchased for 25 Cents!!!!

Last night, the "Clipping for a Cause" ministry met at FUMC. My very good friends Kellie and Jason lead the class every 4th Wednesday. How exciting it was to see the volunteers come in, eager to clip away! Not only that, but the amount of coupon inserts donated by fellow congregation members was unreal! Already, the binders we have to organize each week's coupons are filling up fast. I felt like I had gotten a good workout after picking them up and putting them back in the cabinet! Combined with the overwhelming response to help, the donated coupons, and especially today's shopping experience, there is no doubt that God has great things planned for this ministry to others.
