Christmas Mission

As we all rush around decorating and shopping and going to parties and doing everything else to get ready for Christmas, it is important to remember those whose needs are greater than ours. The church has adopted a local family with eight children (including several teenage children) who are in need of Christmas presents and various church families are signing up to buy presents for this family. I thought this would be a wonderful way for us to serve and show our faith through action. We will be collecting money donations this Sunday at youth group and next Sunday December 18 at our Christmas party and I can then go shopping for gifts (y'all can certainly help me shop if you want to). We are so blessed and have so much and spend our money so often on ourselves. But now I ask that you be selfless and generous in assisting this family at Christmas.
