Pink hair warning to be careful what you promise youth

A couple of months ago, the Aroma and Frankton First UMC youth group came to Pastor Gary Elsten with a proposition. If they raised $500 on their spaghetti dinner would he preach in pink hair? Elsten said, "sure." The youth raised the ante to $1,000 to completely cover the cost of their trip to Ichthus. They actually raised $1,500. And, Elsten preached one Sunday in pink hair.
