Christmas Gift Give-Away and much much more!
It has been a while since I have updated this blog so I will just give a brief synopsis for now on all that has transpired lately.
1. Let me begin by saying that Camille is still pregnant and we are certainly eager to see our two little girls when it is their appointed time to come into this world!
2. Over the Thanksgiving season we were able to provide Thanksgiving meals for over 60 families in the communities around us. This was a remarkable blessing as we had the chance to enter the homes of all these families that we had never met before. One woman came to church as a result of this outreach effort and with tears streaming down her face she gave her life to Jesus! It is awesome to know that God still saves!
3. The first Friday in December we hosted the Village of South Holland as we welcomed Santa to town. Once again this year it was an incredible time as we had nearly 200 kids in our building waiting to make their request to Santa. The best part about this event is that we are able to open our doors to people in our community that may have never entered had we not had an event like this. Last Sunday we had several visitors that came as a result to the Santa event.
4. This weekend we did our big Annual Christmas Gift Give-Away! We served a generous portion of God’s love to almost 350 people! Every child received a couple of gifts and everyone walked out with plenty of snacks. Praise God for the provision He has supplied through local partnerships that have made this event possible! Watch the video below for a sample of what it was like:
Lastly, don’t forget to pick up a daily bible and An Instrumental Christmas CD for everyone on your gift list this year! We have them available in the lobby beginning this week.
Now keep watching this blog as I will be providing a detailed review of Mark Batterson’s soon to be released book Primal A Quest For The Lost Soul Of Christianity, I received an advance copy and I have to tell you…this is going to be a must read book for 2010!
