Of all the photos I took during the Christmas season last year, I love this one best.
I love Freddie Jameson's face as she watches the children sing to her.
I love the way the children are trying their best to get all the words right, smiling as they sing.
And I love the look on Pam's face as she holds open the door, enjoying Freddie enjoying the kids!
Caroling to our home bound members is an amazing gift because it gives in both directions! It brings joy to our home bound folks, who are so thirsty for time with children and time with their church family, and it's a gift to our kids as they learn what it feels like to give to somebody they don't even know- and they get immediate gratification- our people just eat up every second of their singing!
If your kids are free this Sunday, from 11:30 to 2, I hope they can join us for our annual time of carols and cocoa. Sign ups end tomorrow so shoot me a quick email soon! Details are below.
I look forward to experiencing the joy of Christmas with you all!
See you at church!
Love,
Becky
