(FAITHWIRE) – With the average cost of gas hovering around $5 per gallon, one church in Louisiana is doing its part to relieve some of the pain at the pump.
Pastor J. Garland Smith of Lone Wa Worship Center in Monroe, Louisiana, told KNOE-TV that, this past Sunday, his congregation offered communion, prayer, and $25 worth of free gas to the first 200 drivers who came into the church’s parking lot.
Word apparently traveled fast because, by 9:30 a.m. Sunday, some 25 cars were already at the church. And within an hour, all the gas cards were gone — but that didn’t slow down some church members’ generosity.
