Hectic Holidays

The holidays are a time of great excitement for the children at Crosspoint. We have two huge feasts during the late fall, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. As soon as Thanksgiving ends, our kids look forward to Christmas. We encourage them to walk through the journey of Advent with us and learn more about what it means to wait for the gift of Christ.

It also means that they are waiting for their presents! While most kids get lots of gifts every year, for some of ours that is simply not true. In fact, we know that for many of them, this will be the only personal gift they receive. This is a sobering reality, but one that we do our best to provide through generous donors who have the heart to provide a present under the tree.

This year, we will all receive a huge gift in that the sanctuary of the church is almost done.  For the first time we will be in a heated building, with clean walls and insulation, a wonderful wood floor, and a space big enough for everyone to sit. This gift has been given through people that donated sacrificially to provide a space for us and through a general contractor, who was facing slow times in this economy, who put his free time into building a space for us this Christmas.

While the need is still great, we have much to be thankful for. As we await the birth of our Savior, we will sit in the midst of what He is for us right now. Our Christmas prayer is for a gift for each and every child, and that God's grace will continue to pour out on us as we do this work in KCK.
