Rock The Towels And Socks

Hopefully, in a few days I'll have a pic to post of towels and socks piling up in Boston, a small expression to the needy of the city that rescue is here. Following the Do Something Now Campaign of Passion '07, I imagine we will have a similar expression with each successive Passion gathering, large or small. Though towels and socks are not our only DSN goal at the Regional events (we also hope to raise $ in each city to build AT LEAST one well to bring clean water to an African village AND we will be taking up an offering to help move the Passion World Tour along in Kiev [Boston] and Sao Paulo [Chicago]), they are a tangible way to say to those in transitional places in life that they matter to God. While I'm sure few, if any, at the Boston Rescue Mission, the Shattuck Shelter, Sojourner House, Project Hope or our other partner agencies in Boston have ever heard of Passion, our hope is that a clean towel and a fresh pair of socks will convey to them that they, too, have a place in this amazing story of God.

So, if you're on your way to Boston or Chicago this is the moment you:
a) roll down to the nearest Wallmart and pick up a bath towel (or two) and a package of socks for men, women or children;
b) raid the guest towel closet at the house (for those of you living at home and assuming mom and dad will oblige) and stuff said towels in your bag so you won't forget;
c) text all the people you know who are headed to Boston or Chicago with the words (ALL CAPS) TOWELS/SOCKS BABY!;
d) bring towels and socks and drop off in the lobby when you arrive;
e) all of the above.

Remember, it's more than charity (people doing something nice for someone else), it's worship (us doing what makes God really happy).

Together we can make a difference if we do something now!
