More than 100 members
of the Noxen United
Methodist Church will
become saddle-carrying
“trail bosses’’ and ‘“‘route’
riders” within the next
few weeks in their
church’s' Pony Express
stewardship. campaign.
The Rev. Donald R.
Sperling, pastor, said the
campaign this year is
based on the same con-
cept as the Pony Express
of more than a century
ago--teamwork.
Spencer Holmgren,
general manager of the
campaign, said 11 leaders
of the church have been
designated trail bosses
and
supervise the relaying of
the saddlebags to'each of
the church’s families on
Pony Express ‘run’
routes.
Each saddlebag bears
the names of ap-
proximately 10 church
families on the run route;
he said. A family fills in
an ‘“‘estimate of giving”
card, seals it in an en-
velope and inserts it in the
saddlebag, which then is
hand-carried to’ another
family on the route:
unique approach because
we believe stewardship
campaigns should be
rexciting and pleasurable,
in addition to having their
serious moments;’’ he
said, “And, many
dedicated members of the
solicit pledges from their
friends and neighbors.
With" this Pony Express
program, there are no
solicitations and no
pledges.”
Rey. Sperling explained
that ‘each member is
the amount he or she will
be able to" give to’ the
year.
‘Each family makes
their decision in the
privacy of their home,
PONY EXPRESS-Mrs
without ‘any over-the-
shoulder ‘supervision’ of
someone = from the
church,” he said.
He said the Pony
Express theme wad
chosen because of the
-example set by the highly
dedicated riders of the
original Pony Express.
“In addition to‘ their
personal commitment,
the secret of their success
lay in their ability to work
as a team-each rider
make the relay system
work and speed the mail
on to its’ final
destination,” he said.
Likewise, he said, the
success of the church
depends on the
dedication, commitment
and teamwork of each
member.
“We trust each family
to act responsibly in
making a decision about
the support they will give
their church during the
coming year,” he said.
