Bluegrass Church of Christ: An Exsample of Love

BLUEGRASS CHURCH OF CHRIST AN "EXSAMPLE" OF LOVE SODOM & GOMORRHA AN EXSAMPLE 2ND PETER 2:6 On June 30, 2012, the city of Lexington, Kentucky held their 5th annual Pride Festival, a family celebration held downtown to celebrate the LGBT community. Attendees were met with protest from the sky, in the form of an airplane banner (complete with spelling error) commissioned by the Bluegrass Church of Christ. The local church, with a congregation of 12 people, paid $2,200 to "warn gays of their sin." This infographic is a look at other ways the church could have spent this amount of money to share their message of so called love. Local temperatures that day reached 103° $2,200 could have purchased 130 box fans to donate during this extreme heat wave. 20" Box Fan / Walmart / $15.88 + tax $2,200 could have also purchased 8 air conditioners to donate to families, or to local organizations set up as cooling stations. 10,000-BTU Window Air Conditioner /Walmart / $249.00 + tax $2,200 could have purchased 415 foot long sub sandwiches This many sandwiches could feed 27% of Lexington's 12" Sub Sandwich/Subway/$5.00 + tax estimated homeless population. $2,200 could have purchased enough supplies to assemble 17 tornado relief packages to donate to recent victims of tornadoes across the Bluegrass. Package containing soap, towels, wash cloths, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry supplies, feminine hygiene products, diapers, wipes, toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water and hand sanitizer / Walmart / $121.00 + tax $2,200 could have purchased 689 gallons of gasoline, which could have been used to power mobile blood banks, Meals on Wheels trucks, or 45 single mothers' cars as they drive their kids to school. GERD 5. $3.19 per gallon /Lexington high price $2,200 could have purchased 1,257 school lunches for children at local schools. Public school lunch /$1.75/ Lexington average These are all "exsamples" of what $2,200 could do for a community like Lexington. Of course, you can always argue that flying a plane with a misspelled message above the location of a festival celebrating love and acceptance is also worth the money.
