… From Marty Duren, Lead Pastor of the New Bethany Baptist Church in Buford, GA.
…two Christmases ago we held our annual Office Party and invited all our single moms to attend. Each of them received a gift from the staff. Last year we invited our senior adults and each of them received a gas or grocery card (those gifts were actually rebate awards from our church credit card). Each time the staff provided the eats and drinks.
This year we’re going outside the body. We’ve invited the business owners from our general locale (there are about 35 such places). Each business can bring as many as two employees. We printed invitations on regular Christmas stationery and hand delivered them today. There were several people very surprised that we were asking for nothing and were not going to receive a collection, but we simply wanted to thank them for being in our community and give them a chance to meet the other business owners on us.
