Spreading Light

Thank you to everyone who participated in sharing the light of Christ through donations to our sponsored family this Christmas. We delivered gifts for all the children from their wish lists, coats and shoe gift certificates for every family member, a set of towels and a full set of dishes. In addition, we gave nearly $1000 in gift cards for gas stations, grocery stores, and department stores.
On Christmas Eve Pastor Yancey reminded us that the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. By giving, we experience that light in our lives as the presence of Christ among us. Thanks to all who contributed to this project.
Peace and light to all,
Deb

Season of Sharing Invitation

Open your heart to receive the coming Child by opening your heart to receive the family we are sponsoring for Christmas through Lutheran Family and Children's Services.

Sonya and Lawrence are fostering their five grandchildren, ages 12-3. They have a fixed income on which they try to meet the children's needs. They would like to make this Christmas special for their grandchildren, and they are appreciative of any gifts that they may receive.

You can pick up cards at church with gift suggestions for specific family members, or the family welcomes gift cards from any of the following: Mobile gas, Shop and Save, Wal-Mart.

Drop off gifts or gift cards in the box at the back of church by Dec. 21.
E-mail Deb Bohlmann with any questions or offers to participate: deborah.bohlmann@gmail.com
