Service Night

Tonight was also our Service Night. As a congregation we collected 180+ winter coats to be donated to the Dallas Life Rescue Mission. Members also delivered gift basket to families new to the Plano area that have visited our congregation. Car packages were prepared for military serving our country. Cards were made for shut ins and missionaries. Members also went caroling to a local assisted living facility as well as caroling to individual shut-ins of the congregation.
.
The girls and I participated in the caroling, mainly because Abigail's first name is actually Carolyn and she found humor in Carolyn Caroling! All three kids donated coats. Caleb helped crochet mats for the homeless out of plastic bags. We also donated jelly to be delivered to Boles Children's Home.
.
Following the service projects the congregation had a wonderful devotional, then a yummy chili super! Santa made a visit too! The two older kiddos willingly posed for photos to the delight of Abigail! Caleb told Santa he wanted the movie G-Force; Abigail requested an acoustic guitar, and Frankie requested a game for her DS.
