I’m already organizing a campaign to get our pastor to do this!
Pastor Camps on Church Roof for Turkeys
PITCAIRN, Pa. - A pastor said he will camp on his church’s roof until he collects 500 donated turkeys for needy families. Pastor David Martin of the Pitcairn Assembly of God has been on the roof, camping in a tent, since Monday.
ADVERTISEMENT“Some people think I’m a little crazy for doing this. They think I’m out of my mind,” Martin said. “Other people say if it succeeds in collecting the turkeys, it’s been worthwhile.”
Martin got the idea this summer as a way to do some community service.
Martin said he’ll stay until he gets 500 turkeys or until Friday, whichever comes first. As of midday Wednesday, more than 200 turkeys had been donated

How much does a turkey cost.
It stikes me that instead of this time limited protest, the pastor could have taken a temp jon for a week, and used the money to buy 500 turkeys?
Or is that just me

It’s not just you, Steve.
I’ve completely rethought my original view of this story as ‘humorous’ or ‘cute.’ And I just added a new post with those thoughts.
Thanks for being part of the process that got me to thinking, something I haven’t been doing enough of lately.
