Downtown Destinations (sort of)

Maybe some of you have noticed a new little guy at the Capitol Theatre the past few Sundays. He's pretty quiet and hasn't been introduced to very many people, so you have probably wondered why he's there. Or maybe you haven't noticed him at all.

Well, please allow me to introduce you to the newest member of our business card team: The Tip Card


What's a tip card and why do we have one? The whole reason I am blogging is to help you become familiar with downtown Macon so that you will eat, visit, hang out, etc. (spend money downtown, in other words) as a means of bringing restoration.

The purpose of the tip card is for you to take it when you eat downtown and leave it with your tip so that servers and business owners will KNOW we are supporting them.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to live this card WITH a tip! Why am I emphasizing this? If you look at the church in Acts, Christians were not only sharing Christ with others, but they were consistently working to meet practical, physical needs as well. James 2:15-16 says, "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" So, in my opinion, leaving this card without a tip (even if you write a nice little note on the back like, "Money won't satisfy; try JESUS.") is the quickest way to get it in the TRASH CAN.

The Tip Cards can be found on the table when you first walk into the theatre on Sunday. Take some with you, but please use them, and use them well! Here's a tip card at work in Market City Cafe!
