…It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!…

Hello there wonderful Family & Friends!

We have an exciting announcement regarding our kids Christmas initiative this year! In an effort to allow for more flexibility, newness and out-of-the-box ideas in reaching out to your community with the Reason for the Season –Jesus– we’d like to propose the following: *a 2009 Christmas Magazine*.

This would be filled with photos & mini-testimonies or photo captions of what your child did to bring Christmas cheer to someone. Your part would simply be to find out how the Lord wants to use your child/children’s particular strengths/talents, and then have fun…putting those into action! Then all you would have to do is e-mail us a photo & a little explanation to go along with it.

We’d like to ask that all participants e-mail their contribution by December 30th!

To make things as simple & as efficient as possible we are going to e-mail you the PDF file (Lord willing by January 15th), and you could then print out as many copies as you need. You might want to print out some extra to give to your family & friends too!

Here are some examples of *’deeds of Christmas cheer’* to give you an idea of the types of deeds that we’d love to include in our magazine. A child could:

Bake a treat & give it to a neighbor

Give candy canes & tracts at a park or another type of event

[you could attach the tract to the candy cane & carry them in baskets]

Read Christmas stories to younger children

Draw or paint something & give it to someone

Make a Christmas card w/ a verse written inside

Donate toys or clothes to a shelter or needy family

Send a gift to a kid on a needy mission field & pray for him/her

Sing at a retirement community & say a prayer for them

Put on a play & then hand out tracts

Make & send an encouraging card to a relative or contact

Rake a neighbor’s yard or help out in some other way

Give (or make) a little gift for a teacher

Give away a toy that he’s not using to a needy kid

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. We’re sure the Lord has heaps of ideas, so have fun finding out what He has in store for your child!

To recap things for you; the starting date for this is December 1st and the last day to send in your photo/caption (or mini-testimony) is December 30th. The file would then be sent to you, DV, January 15th for you to print out copies as you needed.

Isn’t it exciting thinking about what the Lord has in store for our children this Christmas season?! We’re excited!

Much love & Christmas prayers for you & your kids,

Your Friends…from the fantastic land of CP!
