Save your pennies...

Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. 7 “You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.



Alyssa has her first confirmation class tonight. She has been looking forward to this for awhile now. It's a large group made up of many kids that she has known since starting Sunday school at age 4. They begin the night all together in what they call the "living room". Everyone is free to share their own personal joys or struggles and how God has played a roll for them. Afterwards they break off into much smaller groups for bible time and lessons and close the night singing and worshipping. I could hear them all rocking out from down the hall. It was great. What I thought was even better was seeing Alyssa and all the other kids singing and praising God with so much love and conviction. What an awesome sight!

So, the purpose for my title. The different classes that make up confirmation are having a fundraiser of sorts. They are asking the kids to bring in as many pennies as they can and will compete with each other to see who can bring more. In true Corsaro fashion...we can not be out done, so bring on your pennies. :)
