The smell of sloppy joes filled the air as people arrived. One by one, family by family the troops were rallying to "build" the Christmas store. There was much work to be done. The tables were moved, trees and decorations were put up, and most importantly (for some) the bounce house was ready!
The Live2Serve event was a success. Friday night everyone who participated in setup knew they were doing something good for people in need, but the lives touched by the Christmas store will be immeasurable. For the single mom struggling or the family whose breadwinner just lost their job, the stories are countless and one of them may just be your neighbor. We can only hope those who will be able at some point in the future, just "pay it forward." Then we can imagine that this time wasn't just our family and friends helping out for a few hours at church, but rather a gift to the future from those touched by the Christmas store.
Christmas store was a wonderful serving opportunity for us to help out with. Whether you helped Friday, Saturday, Sunday or bought a gift or made a salad. THANK YOU! Your efforts are appreciated and it wouldn't have been the same without you.
