A New Year's Challenge

I have decided to have a little fun with helping to meet a need, and to try to make a different point at the same time. Sauk Centre resident and actually a neighbor of mine, Jen Huston, was in a serious accident that has left her needing ongoing physical therapy, and has left her and her husband Tim with the loss of their unborn child. Tough times. There is a benefit fundraiser coming up and of course we want to help. So, I have challenged the young people of Harvest Community Church to collect money with the top fundraiser having the opportunity to pick the color of my hair! Time is running out on the challenge as money has to be raised by Saturday afternoon, January 2nd. What color will win? Come find out Sunday morning! If you want to find a kid to join in the challenge, email me and I will pass on the names of those I know are trying to win pastorcarlyn@harvestcomchurch.org Another point I am making with the coloring of my hair is the radical/revolutionary message of Jesus. We are beginning a sermon series through the gospel of Luke this Sunday, and no, colored hair is really radical or revolutionary, but it is different (at least for a pastor) and can maybe jump start our thinking about the person of Christ and the absolutely revolutionary nature of His life and message. Hope to see you soon!
