Christmas Gift Ideas

     It can be hard for anyone to have extra money for Christmas gifts.   We serve with such amazing students and staff that doing these ideas together for others this year was such an enjoyable time.  And most only cost time or a few dollars.


Idea #1 - Clean/ Help a Friend for an Afternoon
Our sweet friend is a seventeen year old momma with 2 toddler boys.  Us girls told her we wanted to honor her for the afternoon.  We did bring presents for the family, but the real gift was the girls braided her hair for her and pampered her.


We helped watch her boys.


And we cleaned her house!


Idea #2 - Food Bags
Everyone loves food and most are baking around the Holidays.  Through our church we were able to pass out 55 food baskets in the community.


Even just putting a few baking items together and leaving it on someone's doorsteps is such a treat!


And guaranteed to pass on smiles!


Idea #3 - Happy B-day Jesus Party!

Gather the neighbor kids around and do an impromptu party singing to Jesus for his b-day!


Who doesn't love cake?


And friends and frosting?


Idea #4 - Adopt a Student
Invite a student into your home.  We are blessed to work with and know through the Bible College students well.  But, some can't go home for Christmas and don't have families that care.  Let them see your family's love and see Christ that way!
