Let's turn $20 into $20,000!

Another $20 invested...

Jaci started an online store called Paper Darlings.

"Paper Darlings Vintage was a natural progression of Jaci Terjeson's obsessive love for thrift store treasure hunting and vintage collecting. The store started as an investment project to raise money for Seattle's Church of the Undignified and their new building. All profits go to the Church's building fund. The store will include everything from vintage knick-knacks to men's clothing, and even items for your Tiny Darlings.

May 6, 2012: The Parable of the Sower

How can we generously sow and reap?

Sunday Benji spoke about generosity and giving.

You experience the generosity of God as seed for sowing!

In response to Jesus' the church has given 

$20.00 to each adult and $5.00 to each kid 3 and over. 

The goal is to be creative. 

Take your $20 or join a group and ask God how to invest in something you are passionate about. 

July 1st is the end date...keep sowing until the deadline.

"It is great and important that you just start from what you love and the passion/joy God gifted you with!" - Mary Pauline

Here are some fun examples of what some people are doing. 

Send us your ideas so we can share on the blog!

TIFFANY ROARK: 

Okay so here's my $20 idea if anyone else is interested and/or has more ideas to add to this. I really enjoy painting furniture and I think it'd be fun to find some free or cheap furniture and paint (or fix it up in any way) and sell it on craigslist and/or artwork yard sale. Anyone else want to be a part of this or have any suggestions? 

CARMEN O'BRIEN: 

This is what I got with my $20.00, these chairs for $9.99 each and 30% off. They sell for over $1,000. So I need to reupholster them

CU FUNdraising Update

What are you doing

Thursday April 26th at 8:30pm?

If you're not already at The Dude Ranch for small group then come over for some coffee, some popped corn and some awesome addressing/stamping/taping fun with your favorite people!

As of now we have 1/4 of the mailers done ... the more the merrier ... and the faster we're done with this phase of the building campaign!

***There will be pre stamped and un stamped mailers in the back of church every Sunday. Take the STAMPED ones if you are going to mail them. Take the UNSTAMPED ones if you want to give to people in person!

Creative FUNdraising Meeting:

Sunday April 29th from 12:30-1:30pm right after church?

* the kids will be in the main cinema area with a sitter

* bring your own lunch if you don't want to wait till 1:30

What want to organize and share info for the next two sections of fundraising.

PLEASE COME WITH IDEAS ... THESE ARE NOT SET IN STONE AND WE NEED YOUR CREATIVITY!!

How can we apply Kingdom Principles into our fundraising ideas?

(A) Web Fundraising.

* Establish teams for: media, how to get the word out, deadlines etc.

(B) Church Body Involvement. (leadership will delegate people to be in charge of different projects)
* How can we actually go about fundraising from our church: praying, people in charge of different aspects etc.
* Coming up with creative ways to fund raise within our church: garage sales, car washes, bake sales, flea market etc.

Great things ahead.

Jump on the train before it leaves the station. It's going to be a fun ride and the destination is gonna blow your mind :)

Pamphlet!

Here's the pamphlet we are sending out!!! Good job Matt Larson!!!!!

What the game plan is.

Hey all,
So we've decided to get 250 mailers made (designed by Matt Larson-Katie Thompson's fiance) and will be sending out to churches we have been a part of or family and friends that we know.  We are hoping to launch a web campaign within the next three weeks targeting people that we know are more apt to click on things rather than taking something to the post office.

Goal. $70,000.00
Why. Approx 1 year of rent plus estimated costs to get city codes for assembly permits.
Why approx.  We don't have a building yet and can't get one until we have finances.  So once some of the finances come in we can start looking and get more specific.

How can I help now:
We are going to be stuffing and addressing 250 envelopes Wednesday night at 7:00 at our house.  Please come and hang out and help.

How can I offer to help soon:
We will be making a video, putting stuff online, getting the word out.  That'll be the next push.

More info to come.
Love you all,
Abbi Rodes
