This past weekend we finally finished an idea about 6 months in the making! You’re looking at the new offering barrels for HSM (really for the Refinery since we’ll leave them in there permanently). We bought the barrels with a wheeled base, and had a custom top made and installed by a local handyman. They have spots to store a good supply of pens and bulletins, as well as a locked offering slot in the front with a little sign that can easily be swapped out. We’ll see how they look as is and rough them up/distress them if they need it to fit the look.
I think the total cost was a couple hundred bucks each (we made 3 of them total – 2 downstairs and 1 for the balcony), and they’ll be regular features in the Refinery for a long time to come.

Awesome idea! We use a huge water jug that we received last summer on a mission trip that the students had to carry around to see what it is like to have to carry water far distances like so many people who don’t have access to clean water do.
