Christmas celebrations!





My brother's church youth group from Grand Rapids returned to Highland Park this weekend to throw a Christmas party for our kids. We had an amazing turn out- 51 kids! We also had some parents and grandparents join in on the celebration. After hearing the Christmas story and singing some songs, the kids headed into the gym for games, cookie decorating, crafts and presents. We were blessed to be able to have the party at Revival Tabernacle here in Highland Park.

God has provided some amazing opportunities for our families to receive "Christmas blessings" this year. This past week, 8 of our families (along with 100 in the Detroit area) were given the opportunity to receive Meijer gift cards of substantial amount to do their Christmas shopping. The Bible study of the Detroit Lions gave to make this possible. I heard from so many families what a blessing and answer to prayer this opportunity was! God truly is the Great Provider!
