141 White Roses

A week ago on Sunday morning, we placed a small foot bridge at the front of our church sanctuary, launching a sermon series called "Bridges".

I preached a message about the Cross being the Bridge to Life.

At the conclusion, I invited people who wanted to make a public commitment of their faith in Christ to come forward and cross over the bridge.

As people came forward, I said, "Next Sunday, we are going to place a white rose on the piano for each person who crossed the bridge of faith today!"

I had no idea we would need to order 141 white roses!

We spent a bit more than I had expected -- but it was a good investment!
