Oops, I just realized I haven't posted for a month...sorry to anyone who has checked in the meantime. Time seems to just fly by. Speaking of...it is currently Sunday evening, and I am down to my final five days as an employee of Open Door Ministries. I am eager to be done, although of course I will miss the kids and my coworkers. I've spent the last month or so training up my replacement director--she'll be taking over once the kids are back in school after Christmas.
Last Friday, Dec. 14, was our annual Childcare Christmas Party. Always a good time! The big event of the year for the kids and their families. A corporate donor provided the funds for this year's bash, allowing us to purchase a gift for each child. All the shopping and wrapping and party prep is a big (but fun!) job. It's a nice way to bless these kids, and each year it seems that plenty of other opportunities pop up where those who have more honor the season's celebration of Christ by providing for our kids and families who have little. A picture is attached from the party.
And so, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!! I'm looking forward to celebrating with family next week, and then starting to wrap things up here in Denver and go hardcore on the support raising.
One item of good news--a church missions board has decided to become a major monthly supporter!
