Donations Needed for Reveal Weekend - Urgent needs

From: Regina Daniel <rldanielusa@yahoo.com>

Dear Class, We have an opportunity to put feet to the lesson we have been studying in Exodus.  Just as Moses asked the Israelites to bring offerings to help build the Tabernacle, we are being allowed to bring food offerings to build up our youth during Reveal Weekend (Aug. 29th-30th).  Please bring as many 2 liter drinks and bags of cookies as you possibly can this Sunday morning.  If we all chip in, we should be able to provide more than enough drinks and snacks for everyone.  We will also have a box and take cash donations for other items needed for the weekend.  The Youth leaders will use these funds to purchase pizzas for dinner on Saturday.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  There are no funds whatsoever in the budget for this event.  Reveal Weekend was originally planned to kick off our Youth ministry for the entire school year.  It gives our kids a chance to invite unchurched friends in for a big event where they can hear the Gospel - The pure unadulterated Good News of Jesus Christ.  Let's do all we can to minister to these kids.  Some of them may hear the Gospel for the very first time next weekend.  For some, it may be their last opportunity to respond to the call of the Holy Spirit.  Isn't it awesome that the Lord is allowing YOU to take part in this event?  Bring all your offerings to class this Sunday.  If you read Exodus 36, you will see where Moses had to actually ask the people to STOP bringing offerings.  Wouldn't that be incredible to witness such a "problem"?   Please prayerfully consider what the Lord wants you to do this week.  Pray, pray and pray some more for this incredible outreach opportunity. Let all our thoughts and actions be focused in such a manner .... that ALL may know the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.    Love, Regina
