Christmas Parties
It’s always fun to end the year with our annual Christmas Parties at both properties. We eat way to0 many chicken nuggets, sing songs, read the Christmas story, and have a wonderful time. This year, an amazing home group from Paramount Baptist provided us with a bunch of gift bags to hand out all the kids at the party. So they were […]
Christmas Outreach
We were able to help provide Christmas gifts for 89 kids from 26 families this year. We did things differently this time around, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I asked the parents of the kids we worked with, “If you had $75 to spend on each of your children the Christmas, what would you get them?” […]
