I realize that I am responding to a post almost a year late, but Pam D, and anyone else who is reading this, witnessing to a ‘captive audience’ is not a good idea. It is cruelly awkward, and never makes a good impression. I am a Christian and I work in retail, and I have never had a positive experience with a proselytizing customer, nor heard of one. Retail workers are always busy doing something else when they stop to help you, are constantly forced to interact with strange and invasive people, and are never allowed to say what they are really thinking. Just because someone smiled and nodded at your witnessing doesn’t mean they did not immediately run back to the breakroom and shout “What a jerk!” I am sure that your intentions are good, but please stop forcing religion on people who are helpless to defend themselves.

If there was an elderly interpretive dance class at my church, I would SO be there! I want to hang out more with elderly people, I think they’re cool. They won’t let me join the AARP, though, which makes me sad. (I’m only 25.)

You just mentioned HoverRound wheelchairs, mid-air fist pounds and felt board Bible stories in the same sentence.

YOU. ARE. AWESOME.

Hmm? Where did I put that bulletin with the request for local ministry opportunities suggestions?

And the only thing that could even come close to Holy Crop is, of course, Holy Scrap.

Kristin -
Naming a scrapbooking ministry “Holy Crop” is awesome. Seriously, I love that.

I’m the pastor’s wife, and I help co-host “Holy Crop” scrapbooking and card making nights in our church hall.

Jon, I'm not really sure if you read these comments, but I went to a Lutheran Youth Retreat over the past weekend, and our main speaker for the weekend, threw handfuls of hershey's kisses into the crowd as both a distraction and a way to get us paying attention. he used them as a way to draw volunteers, (like if you have a purple raise your hand)

it wasn't quite skittles, but it was a start!

but then when we got home from the retreat my boyfriend almost broke up with me (a la 154). bittersweet SCL associations.
