“Curiosity Uncaged the Cat”

– Rev. Chris Jimmerson

You have probably heard the old “truism” that “Curiosity Killed the Cat”, but did you know that there is a lesser-known version that says, “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” What if curiosity can feel risky, but actually holds the key to both individual and collective liberation?

Last Minute Addition to the Spring Auction!!!!
Ever looked at a tractor and thought, “I could totally drive that”? Well, now is your chance. We just added an "Adult Sandbox" experience to the Spring Auction! 🚜💨

The Experience:
One lucky bidder will spend a half-day mastering a professional-grade tractor. You get the keys, the coaching, and the heavy machinery to help us transform the church grounds.

🛠️ WHAT YOU’RE BIDDING ON:
The Keys to the Beast: Full rental of a professional tractor (front-loader & box blade).

The "Toys": A fresh delivery of mulch and roadbase to move and groove.

A Private Co-Pilot: The Executive Director’s husband will be your personal instructor to make sure you look like a pro (and keep the buildings standing!).

Operator Fuel: Donuts & coffee for orientation, plus a victory sandwich lunch when the work is done. 🍩🥪

🏆 WHY YOU WANT IT:
Not only do you get to live out your construction site dreams, but you’ll be helping us clean up the field and church property. Plus, we’ll capture the photos and videos to prove you did it!

Bragging rights included for the following Sunday! 🗣️✨
