Hi everyone! It seems like a year since we were all together in our small group. With DNOW and thanksgiving behind us, it appears that Christmas vacation from school and Christmas itself is coming up quickly. (I am sending this to the email address of parents that I have so they can support you and us in this project.)
The group decided that December 4th, this coming Sunday, would be a good day to help Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program provide some Christmas presents for the children of moms and dads who are incarcerated. We have been given 3 families to help. 2 families have 3 children and one has only one child.
Here are the children:
Child Birthday Age Gender Suggested Gift
Family 1
Ashley 1/1/1995 16 F Purses/Wallets
Alliegh 3/19/2003 8 F Sleeping Bags
Justine 4/27/1999 12 F Sleeping Bags
Family 2
Trenton 10/6/1997 14 M Sports Equipment
Family 3
Alicia 4/25/1997 14 F Jewelry
Sebastian 9/14/1999 11 M Board Games/Card Games
Kaiden 5/30/2006 5 M Cars/trucks/riding toys
Here is the plan for Sunday:
- 10:30 Large group worship in the Rock
- 11:10 My wife (Janice) and I will take 2 cars to go to Walmart or Target to shop for presents with a “Price is Right” contest between 2 groups.
If each student can bring what money they can (no more than $10, but any amount down to $0 is ok) and Janice and I will add enough, if needed to get the presents - 12:15 We will go to eat – my treat
- 1:30 We will return to our hose to wrap the presents
- 2:30 We will go deliver the presents to 2 of the homes
- 3:30 We should have everyone back home
- 7:30 My wife and a student or 2, if possible. will deliver to the 3rd and final family who live in Lavon. We will come pick up the students, if there are any, at their home and take them back there afterwards
- 9:00 Back home
If you have questions, call or email.
