A Warm LNPC Welcome for the Medina Family – A “Pounding”
Bring Your Donation to the Church Office By Friday, 8/28
What is a Pounding? It’s a Christian tradition dating back to at least the 19th century when congregations welcomed a new pastor by bringing a “pound” of something for the parsonage—coffee, sugar, flour, honey, or another household staple.
Since we don’t have a parsonage—and don’t want to bombard the Medinas while they’re unpacking, we’ll have a Pounding collection box in the church office. If you’d like to participate, please drop off your contribution by Friday, August 28th.
Have fun with it! Bring a “pound” of a family favorite, a pantry treat, or perhaps a gift card for tacos, donuts, ice cream, coffee, or another favorite local spot. You could also include a recipe or, even better, a personal note welcoming Pastor Ray and his family to LNPC.
Hopefully, this will help stock their pantry, introduce them to some of our local favorites, and—most importantly—let the Medina family know how happy we are to welcome them into the LNPC family.
