Happy Holidays
from our house
to yours
Wishing each and every one of you a joyous holiday season!!
An Evening Family Prayer
Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded to us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow;
for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies
that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen.
--- Robert Louis Stevenson

A Wonderful Experience
On Saturday, September 24, 2011, 8 members of the Dance Ministries worked with the Trustees Ministry to host the monthly birthday party for the children at Interim House - the joyful Project Cotton Candy.
What a rewarding and enriching experience. We all left from the church in good spirits, a little unsure about what to expect, but ready for anything. We arrived a little late (5 minutes), but everyone jumped right in, unloading the supplies and prepping the activities and food. There were only a couple of little faces waiting when we first came through the doors, but then "the announcement" was made and children came from everywhere! There were crafts and games and toys and bingo. Shouts of "Bingo", "Pass the glue", "I can't get that funny bone", "How do you play this game?" "Where's the cotton candy?" ringing throughout. I don't think it got quieter when it was time to eat, I believe the talking and laughing just moved into another space as hot dogs, chips and drinks were distributed by the Kitchen Team (great job, ladies and gentlemen). One of our dance members, I won't mention any names (Sis Yolanda), was such a blessing to a little one, she wanted to go with us as we were saying our goodbyes.
Two short hours and it was all over, but we left full of the Spirit and the Joy of Giving Gracefully. Several of the September 24th group have made arrangements to return to Interim House and continue to share the love in various ways.
Thank you, NPMBC, for bringing this wonderous event into our lives.
