I lifted the following post from my friend Herbert Cooper.  I respect him!  On Saturday, he found out that his mom had passed away.  On Sunday he had to stand before 3,300 people and preach his heart out.

There are a few times a year we give you a unique way to participate in North Point Church’s ImpACT initiative (www.northpointnow.org/impact).
