If they don’t come to us, we will go to them or How to get into the other churches?

Over the holidays several of the churches in town held bake sales and one held a craft and bake sale.  I thought that may give us an opportunity to meet some more people.  The  Methodist Church held a craft sale so we decided to check that out.  Sister Anderson purchased a little clasp to repair a necklace.  Then we noticed the Mound City Christian Church was having a bake sale one day when we were driving up north and needed to pack a lunch so we purchased some cookies for our lunch. Then the week before Christmas we were talking to our friend who does the Elementary School reading buddies with us. She mentioned that her church, Catholic was having a bake sale and everybody was asking for her famous cinnamon rolls.  She was going home to bake them and so early the next morning on the way to the fitness center we purchase some of her cinnamon rolls. I am sure those cinnamon rolls more than added any calories we burnt off at the fitness center that day, but they were good.  That did get us into three of the churches in town and gave us a little exposure.  Several of the people we met spoke of people in their church who had met us.  So we know that we are being talked about a little, hopefully some of it is good.
