This year we had Power House Christmas at 8 different locations with a total attendance of 370 parents and kids and 53 decisions for Christ.  I was able to be at all but two of our sites.  I guess you could say that I had the privilege of getting a bird’s eye view of our event.

Our lesson was about being a gift to God. People are valuable and God cares for each one the same.    It is awesome to be a part of a church that reaches out to the community.  This year particularly, even during a recession that has shook many in our own congregation, I saw people with the heart of God give of themselves to bless others that are less fortunate.  Church members donated turkeys and other food items which were given to a parent from each site.  Volunteers went beyond the call of duty.  At one site, a couple of our volunteers baked cakes and knitted together stockings for all the kids.  The night of the blizzard, volunteers battled the weather to make sure the kids didn’t miss out on Power House Christmas.  Lives were touched.  This year I saw God’s love demonstrated.
