Christ-centered Christmas ideas



Here is the family night lesson Summer talked about: http://www.latter-dayhomeschooling.com/2010/12/symbols-of-christmas.html 


Here is a great opportunity to do service in our community:
Summer Davis and Jaime Thompson make about 30-40 lunches every Monday and take them downtown to hand out to those in need. (Mondays are the only days that nobody comes to feed the homeless and they are starving.) They keep the lunches simple: PB&J sandwiches, a piece of fruit, a baggie with some chips, a snack, and a water bottle. So if you can donate any of the items used to make the lunches, they would greatly appreciate it. Also, the people who can't make it into the shelter at night (and even those who do sleep in the shelter because they don't have heat in there) are FREEEEZING.  They have been asking for any spare socks or jackets (they even put the socks on their hands, just anything to keep warm). They are also in need of toilet paper. Any donations can be brought to Heather Thompson’s house either at our monthly meetings or any time you just happen to be in the area.  Or you can drop it off to Summer anytime, also.
Merry Christmas!
