The Building Fund
There is the story of a Pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: “I have good news and bad news.” The good news is, —we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, —it's still out there in your pockets." The visiting preacher was really getting the congregation moving. Near the end of his sermon he said, —this Church has really got to walk, —-to which someone in the back yelled, “Let her walk Preacher”. The Preacher then said, —if this Church is going to go it's got to get up, —and run to which someone again yelled with gusto, “Let her run, Preacher." Feeling the surge of the Church, —the Preacher then said, —with even Louder gusto, “if this Church is going to go it's got to really fly," —and once again with ever greater gusto, —someone yelled, "Let her fly Preacher, —Let her FLY." The Preacher then seized the moment, —and stated with even greater gusto, “if this Church is really going to fly, —it's going to need money," —to which someone in the back yelled, “Let her WALK Preacher, —Let her WALK ”
