An angelic, glorious sound was heard at the Long Term Care Facility in Orange City on Thursday, Dec.16. 84 children and 16 volunteers walked the hallways at LTC singing 'Jingle Bells', 'Away in the Manger', 'Joy to the World',' Angels We Have Heard on High' and 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas!' We were greeted by smiles, hugs and Christmas LOVE!! Prior to arriving at LTC, Pastor Mark Haverdink told us how much God loves us. He loves us so much that He sent His only Son at Christmas! The children unwrapped pieces of the Nativity to reveal the beautiful Christmas story! Thank you Pastor Mark! We're so glad you came!
Pastor Tim Breen shared with us on Tuesday the message of HOPE during the Advent season, the season of expectation. Pastor Tim taught us the difference between a 'wish' and real HOPE in Jesus. A 'wish' is something you wish would happen and real HOPE is in knowing JESUS. He is our real HOPE for the future!! Thanks Pastor Tim for teaching us to have our HOPE in Jesus! We love it when you're with us!
The final Kids' Connection in December, 2010 is Tuesday, Dec.21, with a visit from the 35-member wrestling team and coaches from MOC-FV high school! They will be sharing with us about JESUS, a favorite Christmas memory and/or their experiences as team players. We look forward to meeting all of them and we thank them in advance for coming!!
Be sure to scroll down to see the video that follows this blog post. We sincerely do wish you and your 'kin' a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2011! Thank you again for your support of Kids' Connection and we are excited to witness what God has in store for us in 2011!!
We hope to see you all back on January 4 when Lisa Laird and her puppet friends teach us about PATIENCE!
