Holiday House 2007

Saturday, Dec. 8th was our very first Holiday House. Holiday House was designed to teach our kids who come to Kids Club and Mealtime about the gift of giving during Christmas. For two weeks the kids had been earning "Christmas Bucks" for every time they came to Homework Help and Kids Club/Mealtime. All the kids were so excited about the "Christmas Bucks". We even had kids come to Homework Help who didn't have homework. Instead they brought books to read so that they wouldn't miss out on their "Christmas Bucks". The idea was for the kids to earn these bucks to spend in the holiday house to buy presents for their family.

This was our gift buying room. We had so many wonderful donations of gifts for kids to choose from and buy for their family. A very special thanks to Crabapple First Baptist Weekday Preschool, a small group of North Point Community Church, Cindy Golden and Parkway Property Management for all the donations of gifts!

We had tons of wonderful volunteers for this fun day! A delightful small group from North Point Community Church, a creative group of teenagers, and some old friends came out to make this day a Big success!

Remember the group of creative teenagers? They put together some really cute and creative Christmas cards for the kids to make. Our kids really enjoyed them. Some of them made as many as 5 different cards!

Happy kids taking home their wrapped gifts for their families!

Thank you to everyone who made this day AWESOME for our kids! We really saw the Lord's spirit of giving in our kids that day. One little girl gave up 40 of her "Christmas Bucks" to buy a blanket for another little girl's baby cousin because the little girl did not have enough. This is what we wanted to see in our kids this Christmas season! The joy of giving! Thank you for giving to Square Peg ministries joyfully!!!
