Suggestions for Sunday School project on the parable of the talents

Parent Cafe

<p>This morning my Sunday School teacher gave us each a copy of the parable of the talents (Matthew 25) and $10. She told us to take our $10 and go and use it somewhere where it will do some good. She said we should pray and let God lead us to where to use it – whether we give it to a homeless person or to a charity or find another important use. </p>

<p>I thought I’d ask all you CCers for advice on how I can make this $10 do someone some good and make the world a better place. I intend to add about $25 or $30 to it. I know a cancer patient struggling with bills, and I may send this to her, but I already sent her a gift a week ago (not knowing this project was coming). Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Put your $10 with someone else’s $10 and give a flock of poultry to someone in an impoverished area of the work at Heifer International?

<p>What about donating it to your local food bank? There are many people in this country struggling to feed their families.</p>

<p>Buy 10 dollars worth of stamps and write hand-written letters to your local, state or federal lawmakers; about whatever issue concerns you.</p>
