Christmas Thoughts Wrap-up

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who were involved in the Christmas events here at Valley Grace. There was a great deal of time and effort put into the events and outreach. Please continue to pray for God to use these events in the lives of those who attended.

• The Christmas program was well done and good responses to it on December 13.
• Christmas Eve service
  
• Thanks to the choir for their music on December 27 & also for the testimonies for baptism.
  
• Thank you for your involvement in the Christmas project with helping to provide Christmas gifts for some families outside of our church. The tags went very quickly.
• Others of you were involved in some very creative ways of sharing Christ through Christmas with school students, and other families who had needs.
• The shoeboxes were sent earlier, and there was very good participation.
• The special Christmas offering is going to be sent to the Happy Church in Jackson, KY and will be approximately $1,500 -- shhhh, don't tell them, it is on the way.
• Thanks to those who helped with clean up of snow and ice to make it possible to hold the services.
• Thanks to those of you whom I missed! I'm sure there are some.
  

Well done, church!

I read of a creative outreach that a church in Seattle had done which might be food for thought. The ladies of the church selected Christmas gifts and wrapped them, and took them down the prostitutes in a section of their city.
