First Week of GodFit Complete
I’ve tallied all the teams point and currently “3’s Company” is in the lead. Great work!
All You “Should” Eat
Food for thought. I was walking into the church last week and I saw an advertisement geared towards those who seek food in the large unlimited proportions. Some would say the glutinous. This marketing strategy is quite effective and many churches across the globe us it to entice people to a fundraising event. Our church is providing space to a fundraiser for a group that will be holding there annual “All You Can Eat” Pancake Dinner. They have massive piles of pancakes for just few dollars. I love a good fundraiser but just chuckled at the sign. I wanted to put one of our weight loss signs next to it saying, “Then Join Christ First Weight loss” and break free from the chains of food addiction. Or come the Christ First and find out how much you “Should” eat.
I know most wont go to this event and practice gluttony but in the past I was that guy. I’m sure some of you can relate. My mentality was to get my $’s worth, and boy did I. But in the long run it was my family and friends who paid the price of my food addiction. It is sad but true, but there was hope for me and you too can change.
If you plan to support this group by attending the Pancake supper, do so responsibly. Don’t eat all you can, Eat all you should. I can get you nutrition facts but honestly your better off making a donation rather then eating at the pancake supper. It’s fat and carbs folks. Avoid the temptation.
