Gil Promo

After tapping on Gil's exclamation mark Ever since I became a church-goer, things are looking up. You can’t just come to the breakfasts after service. You have to come to the part where you give money to us as well! Help Ol’ Gil pay his tithes and get in good with the deacons. Whaddya say? If the offer is accepted That's right! Cast your bread upon the water, and it will return to you threefold. And it will help the Patriarch buy that helicopter that he’s had his eye on. If the offer is declined I guess Ol’ Gil's prayers won’t be answered this time. *sigh* Amen.
