At this point it’s the Relay for Life team from Lumpy’s (a roadside tavern) that has raised the most money for the American Cancer Society fundraiser in Newberg this weekend. I added together the numbers from the top two church teams and multiplied that by two and it was still more than two thousand less than what Lumpy’s has raised. While this is an isolated instance that proves nothing, I’m going to try to remember it the next time I start to feel proud of the compassion and generosity of us “church folk.”
