Shine 2008

I have had a few great stories about people who are getting fired-up about Shine 2008.
You can read more about Shine 2008 here and here.

One man told me Sunday that he had an idea of a project that he was going to do on his own. He drove by a cemetery in a small church that has many veterans buried there. The grass had grown tall and it needed someone to pull weeds, so he is going to try to get permission to take care of that.

Another person from our church lives in a community that has probably over 100 homes. They approached their whole community about doing a food drive so we could restock the local food bank. Many of the neighbors (that don't even go to Foothills) are participating.

Another person who coaches one of the local High School football teams said that he was going to have ALL of his players participate in Shine 2008 by doing community service projects.

I have received many emails of people who can't be there Saturday because of prior appointments that are doing their projects during the week.

When it's all said and done, there is no telling how many lives will be impacted by people willing to let their lights shine in the community by doing acts of service.
