SHEBOYGAN, WI (November 7, 2007) \u2013 Steve Pedersen, pastor of Zion Covenant Church, recently asked usher Michelle Garnett before the 10:30 a.m. Sunday service how her kindergarten class was going.<\/p>\n

“Very good, except some of my students don’t have socks to wear, and I’m concerned with the cold weather starting,” Garnett replied.<\/p>\n

Pedersen responded, “I’ll make an announcement during worship and ask people to bring socks for kids from grades K-5. We’ll call it \u2018Socks for Sheridan\u2019 (Elementary School).”<\/p>\n

The next Sunday, church members who attended the service brought 254 pairs of socks, enough for every class. “Imagine what we would have had if the 8:30 a.m. service had been given the opportunity and heard of the need!” Pedersen says.<\/p>\n

The principal and the teachers emailed the church to express their appreciation. “I looked at it this way,” says Pedersen. “Here was a small way to be missional. It was like Jesus saying – if he came from Wisconsin – “My feet were cold and you gave me socks.”<\/p>\n
