Stories from the Talents Offering Project On the Sunday following the Haiti earthquake, Pastor Scott Sherwood preached on the Parable of the Talents -- then the church board passed out envelopes with small amounts of cash totalling $5,000 to each person in attendance.  We were challenged to "Make All We Can" with what was in our envelopes then bring back the increase in 2 weeks for an offering for Haiti Relief. Two weeks later, we brought back more than $37,000!  And the money kept trickling in over the next few weeks, until we were finally able to write a check to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries for $40,000!
