So many people are lonely, sad, or hungry at Christmas, and it is a time of year when such lacks are most keenly felt. So, as part of our Celebration, we focused on bringing the spirit of Christmas – God’s Love – to as many as possible. It was our gift to Jesus and others!
We put up an invite sign on our gate and served a special Christmas meal – complete with dessert – to anyone who came in. Some friends also brought over several trays of delicious home-cooked food to add to the meals; God bless them.
Some of us (together with our Helping Hand children!) packed many trays of food into vehicles, and drove around the neighborhood, serving food to those in need. The reactions were so beautiful!
We also took a meal to the local police station and fire station; a small way to thank these community servants for all they do throughout the year. We are so grateful to have been on the ground, spreading Christmas Love to these dear ones. Over 100 people got a delicious meal, a “Jesus Loves You”, and a Gospel message. What a Merry Christmas Day!
