When I first walked up to the front that morning, I was shocked with the assignment dealt out by Chuck. I remember afterwards thinking, "What can I do to further God's Kingdom?" I mulled over different thoughts and ideas over several days. I received ideas and advice from many people. Several initial thoughts and partnerships with other "assignees" intruded upon works of the stewardship committee; therefore I had to revise my initial plan. My first cohesive thought was to do an outreach to the surrounding community. I wanted people to share my faith and experience at PPC in the hopes that others may decide to make PPC their church. Perhaps a "Door to Door" mission.

So, I decided to purchase seed packs and produce flyers about PPC. My plan was to go door to door in the new communities "spreading the word" and asking neighbors to come plant their seeds with us. Then I realized that $100 was not enough money to accomplish this task. I had previously received an idea to produce a PPC license plate as a revenue generator for my base plan. Then I realize that the Plates themselves could be evangelical tool toward God's Plan in our community.

I did research on the internet, found companies that produce the plates and proceeded to ask for "mock ups" for the plates. With the help of Chuck, we reviewed the numerous choices and chose a style that embodied our church.

Presently, we are preordering the plates to get a quantity and plan to get Judy Clinton to set up an account for the receipts upon completion of the initial order. We are offering the PPC Vanity Plates for $15/ea and plan to place the initial order the week of Jan 28. I plan to double the preorder quantity, so we can have extra plates to share with new members. If you wish to preorder one or more plates, please contact me by phone or via email at mbarnes@atlanticindustries.us

With the remaining funds, I plan to help fund small projects around the church and complete my "Door to Door" mission to invite new neighbors in our growing community to come and experience Philadelphia Presbyterian. Hopefully, upon completion, we will add new members to our growing church family.
