We asked them to continue to do this until Easter Sunday. During our Easter service, we then had each family walk their sack up to the pulpit and drop it into a basket. The response was tremendous. People told us of how they used the sack in their home as a Bible study with their families for the month. The children were especially excited.
People can put their name on a slip of paper and put inside the bag for donation receipt purposes.
We recently had our Annie Armstrong offering. I chose a missionary from each State to represent our goal for our offering. My granddaughter, Ariel McClung, only recently was saved and baptized into our church. She hurried to the quilt to get the Eders' name. Two weeks later my son was changing her bed and found the name under her pillow.
