Overflow Challenge

It was so cool to hear the excitement as we talked about what we could do for this first 3-month Overflow challenge. We KNOW that God can do something awesome through our lives as we make some sacrifices to try to change the world! Here are some of the ideas that my smart group had...
  • Mobile car detailing - this is so cool...you go to the person's house and wash, wax, vacuum, and clean the interior of their car. I would TOTALLY pay for someone to come and do that!
  • STL Store - we talked about various things that people can make (duct tape wallets, fabric purses, baked goodies, pre-made scrapbooks, etc.). We could set up a STL Store every Missions Sunday AND at the lock-in April 3rd! Then the people who have items to sell would work the store.
  • Babysitting - give 1/2 to the Overflow challenge
  • House cleaning - same
  • Bake Sale - before/after Sunday service (once a quarter)
  • Slave Auction - auction yourself off to do whatever the owner needs
  • Marathon Relay Team - get people to sponsor every mile you run
  • Group Rummage Sale
  • Sell fresh produce from your garden

I was so impressed with the ideas that people had!! The sky is the limit! And what's really great about the Overflow Challenge is that it's in 3 month increments. So if you try something the first quarter and it doesn't go so well...change it up!

So try to nail down your idea so we can add it to the Challenge board on Wednesday! It's going to be awesome to see God work through our Overflow!
