- We outfitted all the kids in costumes. We must have had 10+ angels !! Special thanks to Amy Dryden for loaning us the costumes. The kids were so adorable !!
- The kids were so patient, cooperative, and attentive as we practiced the play.
- There were various craft projects ongoing throughout the afternoon. Ayeshia Duru was an angel making machine !!
- Special thank you to the Thrasher family for coordinating the party and project
- All the kids had a blast decorating Micole's delicious gingerbread and sugar cookies - YUM!!
Then on the morning of Wednesday, December 23rd we had over 20 children take part in the December project at the nursing home.
We began with the Christmas play which featured Bailey Dryden narrating the Christmas story which the children acted out. The play included several beautiful Christmas carols that all the children sang. They did an incredible job for learning it 2 days before !!
We had set up a Christmas store in the foyer of the home prior to our play. We had over 200 gifts donated !! A special thank you to everyone who gave so generously. We gave each resident 3 play dollars to "buy" Christmas gifts for themselves, friends, or family. At the end of the store we had a gift wrapping table for those who wanted their gifts wrapped.
The children (and parents) were incredible as they jumped right in helping push the wheelchairs, assist the residents in selecting presents, manning the gift tables, wrapping gifts, visiting with the residents, etc........ What a wonderful day we had "Sharing Jesus by Helping Others" !!
