Sarah and Shawn’s Tiramisu Cheesecake created for the 1st Annual Methodist Men Pie/Cheesecake Auction

When Eldon brought the idea of a pie auction up to me as a possible fundraiser to help pay for our broken down organ I was a little bit leery. As President of the Methodist Men, I badly want our group to branch out and try new activities, but I didn’t think this would be a huge success. Eldon set our goal at raising $1000. I thought a more realistic goal would be to to drop a couple zeroes off of his goal.

Turns out, we both were pessimistic. The Methodist Men First Annual Pie Auction raised $1750 to help replace our broken down old organ. Of course that mean there will be a 2nd Annual Pie Auction next year. That time, for a yet to be determined but possibly youth oriented cause.

Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 202


Merry Christmas - 2013 - Personal Photo Project #202
Merry Christmas! – 2013

This week’s Personal Photo Project was to send take a picture to send out with my Merry Christmas text messages. Maybe next year my ambition will grow to full on Christmas card and Christmas letter parody, but it probably won’t.

If you are curious, this picture was taken in the room where we take communion following the first Candlelight Service on Christmas Eve at my church.

Next week’s Personal Photo Project will most likely involve lilies. But you never know which way the wind will blow in 2014.
