Garage Sale for Klems

Dear PoC Family,

When I first met Tom and Lorrie Klem and their fantastic kids (Daniel, Nick and Sam), I knew I had stumbled onto a great treasure. Some people have a way of inserting joy into the lives of others through their insight, unique view, friendship and fun. So many of you already know this and I’m so excited that more and more of our new friends at PoC are seeing just how incredible this family is. We want to celebrate them...well, spoil them!

Lorrie has been diagnosed with Stage IV Lung cancer and is struggling with pain, exhaustion and everything that goes along with that. It is very serious and is pushing hundreds of us to our knees multiple times a day. We need a miracle. I’m not alone in feeling helpless, angry, and scared at the thought and sight of my friends going through this. I, along with you, know our God is able. So, we cry out day and night. We believe and we look for ways to help, following every missional impulse that the Holy Spirit gives us to bless our friends. It’s go time!

A few of our PoC friends were dreaming up ways to help the Klems and decided to hold a community garage sale at the church. The idea gained momentum and soon they were inviting the whole church and community to be a part. 

I would like to strongly encourage you to join in, to act now.

The garage sale will be held at the church this coming weekend:

Donations of items for the sale are being accepted
from 9am-9pm this Thursday, May 29th.

The sale will be open
Friday, May 30th from 8am-12pm
&
Saturday, May 31st from 8am-2pm

This missional event is led by Pastor Jessica Whisler (jwhisler@pointofchange.org)  and Carrie Robinson (robin72096@yahoo.com). These ladies will need help all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with pricing, organizing, operations, and hauling. Could you please make a plan to contribute some stuff, time, and energy to help with this project?  Also, invite, invite, invite.

This is yet another way that we get to Give Like Heroes. When we were first planting the church, Lorrie and her team held a HUGE (I’m talkin’ MASSIVE) yard sale to raise money for our church. She blew my mind at her ability to pull that together. Well, between you and me, I want us to blow that event out of the water!!! No offense, Lorrie, but we’re going to beat you!!!!! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! :)

Give Like Heroes, PoC!!!!

Pastor Todd
