Thank you to all of you who selected a gift for our second annual Methodist Foster Care Christmas party. All of the gifts were selected within a week which was great!
Now on to putting the finishing touches on the drive-through "party" on Saturday, December 12.
To make our driveway more festive, we would love to borrow any outdoor blow-up decorations you may have. We could pick them up on Friday, December 11 and have them ready to give back to you on Sunday, December 13. These would really make a difference in turning the FUMCA driveway into a Christmas wonderland! Please let Judy King know if you have decorations to share--317-370-2996.
Also we would love to have you volunteer to help at the party the afternoon of December 12. The event is from 2:00-6:00 so any time you can provide would be so appreciated. The wonderful UMW women have volunteered to do shifts in the kitchen to box up the dinners. Newman Methodist folks have volunteered to greet the families at the first station where the kids will get Bibles provided by UMW and their first activity to take home. We still need volunteers to be at the second activity station to give out that package and the third station where the Santa pictures will be taken. Please call/text Candy Brame at 318-452-3587 if you would like to volunteer.
Special thank yous to the Atwoods who are providing cookie kits complete with three gingerbread cookies, icing and decorations, the UMW for providing Bibles for all of the foster kids and to Outlaws who have given us a fantastic price for catering the dinners we will be sending home with each family. Joel Byram and Will Glass are going to be our Santas so the kids can have a pic with Santa complete with masks!
We want to fill these special kids and their foster families with the love of Christ and, of course, with gifts to make this season just a little bit brighter!
Blessings,
Bill Bond
