No shoes? Really? How cool is that! In order to raise awareness of the need around the world for shoes & Christ our Pastor Chip Bernhard is challenging the church to leave their shoes at home - or better yet to carry their shoes in with them on Sunday and give them away to someone who needs them more. We're collecting shoes for Solesforjesus.org who will take them to Africa and give them away to people who need them. Super cool.
What's even "cooler" is that this Sunday I'll be re-telling the story of Jesus washing his disciples feet. What a great day to be teaching Humility. I won't even need shoes though I may need some foot washing!
Update: Our kids took this idea of collecting shoes for people in need to their schools and I know of at least 4 area public schools that are now contributing to this good work.
