Gearing Up for Fireworks Fundraising Tents

This past Tuesday we dressed up our church's main fireworks tent in the Sam's Club parking lot. Then yesterday, Wednesday, the truck arrived to deliver our fireworks, and we worked to unpack, display, set up price tags, reprogram the cash register (for price changes, product changes, etc), and get opened up for business.

While we were doing that, our daughter church in Weston was doing the same. They were approached by a wayfaring customer before they had even opened for business, and he bought their largest item, a huge box called "The Big Bang." Some years that big ticket item does not sell during the whole period, and they sold theirs before they even opened. Praise the Lord.

Today we dressed up our church's second tent, which is going to be staffed in the main by our youth. This second tent is located at Meadowbrook Mall. The truck is due to deliver the fireworks for that tent tomorrow. Whew! Many thanks to all those church members who helped. What a great bunch of people. God bless you!
