I was reading the story of Joash, the boy king, to our children the other night and came upon an idea.  Joash used to walk through the temple with his Uncle Jehoiada and look at the hole ridden walls of its structure.  When he became king he devised a plan to financially obtain the funds to fix those precious walls.  He had a trunk made with a hole drilled in the top.  When the worshippers came to the temple they would drop coins in the trunk.  Those "coins" were used to rebuild the walls of the temple.  I felt impressed to share this with you as I feel we have a need for new siding and possibly other structural needs for our church building.  This is simply a thought I'm sharing as collecting "coins" could  add up very quickly and accumulate for the benefit of taking care of the  Woodstock house of God.  Just a thought I felt impressed to share.
