Christmas Party

Last night we had our amazing Christmas celebration with our Teen Mops ladies. What a beautiful night of sharing, laughter, tears, great food and gifts. We received so many amazing donations that helped make the evening such a special time.

Kelly, from Fox River, took time with her children to make 45 comfy no-sew blankets. One for each of the little ones. This meant moms with two or three kids could take several and have a lovely keepsake--so thoughtful. Another donation came in the form of gift cards--one for each of the girls to get themselves something. A leader also donated a mug filled with candy and cocoa for each of the girls as well.

Please pray for us all as we celebrate this season. Pray that we put first things first and stay focused upward. It's so easy to get sidetracked by this world and miss the opportunity to experience the peace and stillness that Christmas could be. The Savior of the world--born as just a little baby--on a simple night, in a simple way--fulfilling His purpose to save the world.

Many blessing to you each this Christmas!
