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! The residents were clearly touched by the cuteness and beautiful voices of our children which were expressed by warm hugs for the children...

Our second performance at the dining hall in the facility....




Great job everyone! crazy face~~!


What a wonderful year we had together.
May 2017 be a blessed one for everyone!

So sorry folks, I have absolutely no photos for this meeting (gasp), and I know it is a travesty... but hey, at least I learned a lesson. (note to self) On KidsServe days, wear an outfit with at least one pocket! ahem. (repositioning myself) I do wish to inform you that we did have a phenomenal meeting as the kids learned about a rather mature content.. juvenile detention system. Special thanks to one most gracious and dedicated man of our church Mr. Kevin Kennedy. He was our inspiration in putting together this meeting as he brought wealth of information and shared with us his passion in sharing the love of Christ with the teenagers detained at a juvenile detention cente

Dear KidsServe family, I am terribly sorry about this very very delayed posting of this message. I mean, March is almost over as I am writing this..! Here's the recap of what we did for this past March KidsServe meeting.... We got together at the local senior living center. The primary focus was to simply spend some time and hopefully build a relationship with the residents who are practically our neighbors!(2 min drive from church) We brought along some craft supplies as gifts for the residents. We have made -Heart shape string art on a canvas -Scratch off eggs -Decorated wooden fan -Pens with flowers For privacy reasons, we are not able to post pictures with residents'faces, but let me tell you, the whole room was filled with busy hands, attentive care of the senior residents, and lots of laughter! The residents were all very warm, loving and many of them had great sense of humor. I personally had a fantastic time simply by seeing how the residents an
