Spotlight on Volunteers: Coupon Clippers

There are a lot of different ways to use your talents when serving with 5-2 Ministry. In the previous post we mentioned the wonderful (and many times, anonymous) "Coupon Angels" who generously donate their coupons each week to our cause. Well, that is just the first step, because in order to use those coupons, we must first locate the ones we need to use and then they have to be CLIPPED! Fortunately, we have a group of folks who are very generous with their time, and who also happen to be really good with a pair of scissors. These individuals gather each Monday evening to locate the necessary coupons for that week and clip them from the coupon inserts. These people are amazing.

There is no stack of coupon flyers too high for these brave souls! Each week they cheerfully gather and commence to clipping, and before you know it they have turned stacks of coupon flyers into neat little bundles of coupons to be used in our shopping trips that week, and they seem to have fun doing it! It's truly an incredible sight to see, and I just love the joyful hearts that these people bring to this task each week. Who knew that a pair of scissors in the hands of a willing volunteer could be such an effective tool in serving our Lord? When you witness the fruits of the labor of these wonderful "Coupon Clippers" it is very apparent that He has taken this seemingly menial task and turned it into something significant for the good of His children. I am so thankful for these wonderful volunteers and their willingness to serve. God is so good!
