I just had to post this great report from Julie Albritton:
I just wanted to send out a great big humongous THANKS to everyone who helped out with our Cuffee Christmas Program and Party tonight! It was a sweet time! I think we had around 80 people total there, gave out over 30 goody bags to the children filled with knit hats, crayons, "Happy Birthday Jesus" activity books, toothbrushes, snowflake ornaments that said, "God made me unique like a snowflake", a copy of the Gospel of John, and a candy cane, had a program of music, dance & storytelling, then celebrated with wonderful food!
It's hard to say exactly, but I would guess that over 50 of our church family were involved in some way! Special thanks to Sheila Arnold for sharing her amazing gift of storytelling with us, Megan Galan for coordinating the food and making everything look so beautiful, Melodie Walenius for making awesome cupcakes, Amy Sholes and Susan Briggs for working with the kids on their dances, Stephanie Freeman for printing our programs, heading up the tutoring and helping us stay organized, and Mike Tortora for planning great recreation and Bible study each week! Thanks so much to ALL OF YOU who faithfully come every week to love on these children in the name of Jesus!
Please continue to pray for these children and their families, especially as we reach out to them through our Angel Tree gifts!
