Interesting way to minister to the bus kids

[dadof4]

My dad is now working as a manager for a gas station. He found out that if a product (candy bars, for instance) has gone past their expiration date even by 1 day, they are to throw it out. My dad asked is boss if he could take them and give them to our bus ministry director to use as treats for bus kids. He said that sounded like a good idea. Dad came the next day with about 5 full boxes of candy bars to pass out to the kids. Oh, these were KING size candy bars.

Watch out! There be those who on this bulletin board who are against "bribing" the young ones; its got to be the pure word for sure.................

A lot of bus ministry folks would love to get a windfall like that! That's great!

It's not used for bribes to get the kids to come, they are rewards for good behavior while in children's church.

Dadof4, that is a great idea.

Lest anyone get concerned over the expiration date, those dates are not a "gone bad after this date" but rather a "do not sell after" date.
