ADOPT A FAMILY
Merry Christmas, CityPoint Church…..too soon? Well, it is that magical time of year where we start planning and raising money to adopt a family or two for Christmas. To bring some joy to the family. We never know the families whole story but we know they are in need and we have since prelaunch been able to bring presents and food to some local families. We have given every family the Christmas Story so they all can read about our Lord and Savior. Below are a few different things that we have experienced over the years. If you ever want to hear more stories or have any questions please ask! Be watching for the bucket to put your change in!
One year gifts were being delivered and there was a little one watching out the door as the delivery was made. This family didn’t have money for a tree or any decorations. They were so appreciated they covered people with hugs and many thank yous! Smiles that have gone miles long!
We have families who were in need of things like a pillow or blanket to keep warm.
Last year was probably the hardest, we had a family we had been shopping for, on day of delivery we are informed the eldest child had passed away. They said we could still come and deliver gifts the next day. We delivered everything, even the gifts for the eldest child. When the gifts were delivered we were able to pray with the Mom and younger brother. We were able to listen to the Mom just pour out what was on her heart. We also were able to attend the funeral and pray with individuals at the funeral.
So it may seem like we are just doing some Christmas Shopping but it really is so much more than that. We need to share the Lord’s joy and be his servants at all times. If you are willing to donate please find the bucket on Sunday (the next three Sundays).
Thank you,
CityService Team
