We have so much to be thankful for! I'm truly thankful for each child that steps through the doors of our church every Tuesday and Thursday. What an incredible blessing they are to all of us at Kids' Connection! I'm also truly thankful for each volunteer that helps with the precious children at Kids' Connection. What an incredible blessing each volunteer is to this program! I'm also truly thankful for the bus drivers. They take time out of their work day to pick up the children and get them here safely!
Yesterday was spent doing service projects. The 5th grade children made 'turkey' cookies for all of the children at Kids' Connection to take home. Winova headed up that project-thanks Winova!! The 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade children we busy making snowmen out of tube socks for the Heritage House and Long Term Care Nursing Homes to use as winter decorations for their dining tables. Lylis headed up this cute project with incredible patience and creativity-thanks Lylis!! The younger children made 'Give Thanks' pillows and turkey pins to share with family and friends. It was very encouraging to witness the children serving others.
J-Jesus
O-Others
Y-Yourself
We certainly put this acronym into action yesterday at Kids' Connection!
Next week Tuesday we will begin working on our advent wreaths and advent themes for the month of December. On Thursday we will be celebrating a Culture Connection day. Ingrid May will be sharing about Germany. Following her lesson we will be making gingerbread houses. What a fun day that'll be, too!
I sincerely hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. May God's goodness, grace and joy fill your homes this holiday season!
