This past Thursday evening, The 1:27 Call had the wonderful blessing of hosting a Christmas party for more than 100 foster children in Rutherford County. This was our third year to host this party and it was our best one yet! It was amazing to witness the joy on the faces of these beautiful children created in God’s image as they enjoyed the events of the evening.
The night began with a delicious meal that was donated by a local restaurant, and desserts that were made and donated by various individuals. Everyone then enjoyed a short drama detailing the nativity story. The drama was followed by a local musician that led everyone in singing familiar Christmas carols. As the singing began, Santa and Mrs. Claus made their arrival which thrilled the children! To finish the night, each child had the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus by a local photographer that donated her services. After getting their picture taken, each child received an age appropriate Bible and small gift. We were so blessed to have all the Bibles donated this year and the youth from a local church graciously wrapped the gifts and the majority of the Bibles for us.
All in all, it was a wonderful event and we have received a lot of positive feedback about it. If you played a role in this years party, whether it be through prayer or donations, we are so grateful! We are excited about what God is doing, and we are already looking forward to next year’s Christmas Party. May God pour out His richest blessings upon you and your families this Christmas Season!
