Merry Caroling
Before Christmas 2016 becomes a distant memory, I wanted to recap how the children served this month. Christmas oh Christmas. Gifts, decorations, cookies, greeting cards etc... they all were put in place with good intention but at times the longer-than-normal to do list can put us in a hyper stressed mode! So this month, we wanted to refocus on what this season is all about: Celebration of Jesus's birth. Our pick was to share the celebration by caroling at a local senior care living facility near our church. Our children did a wonderful job caroling for the residents and two of our wonderful students read a book about Jesus's birth for the audience. Our children then handed out bags of coin-shaped chocolate to commemorate St. Nicholas. (Legend has it, Mr. Nicholas threw coins from the windows of houses in need) Due to privacy reasons, we cannot share the pictures of the residents, but I wish I could! There was so much joy and happiness oozing out of that room!
