My First Use of a Smile Card

--by joelore, posted Feb 28, 2007

I had some cards printed up and now am looking for ways to use them. My first use was this past Sunday. I recently started attending a Melakite Catholic church in my town after years of not going to church at all. I found some things similar and some different to the Roman Catholic Church masses I remember from years ago.

Wanting to learn more about the Melakite history, I purchased a book they had in the reception hall area after mass. I paid the father, twice as much as asked for, for the book and handed him a smile card and asked that he place it in one of the books left and if a person wants to buy the book that it is placed it, he just give it to him since it was already paid for. He liked that idea. :)
