Hands&Feet Gifts of the Season

Hi Friends,

As we make our way through the Advent season, I feel like I'm experiencing what the grinch experienced in the movie: with every act of love and kindness I have been witness to, especially this week, my heart is growing fuller and fuller! It started on Monday; St Andrew's was able to provide pizza and a sweets table for the HUGS Winter Social. Seeing the team members enjoying their social time together dancing and enjoying all the evening had to offer was so much fun!

On Tuesday we partnered with St Peter's on a wonderful Christmas party for our Angel Tree Families from Burks Elementary School. St Andrew's supplied gifts for 67 children and dinner for all! As the families arrived, collected their gifts, and shared a meal with us, the gratitude they had for all involved was so evident.

Then Wednesday rolled around and the children’s choir, some members of the adult choir, and a few additional church members went caroling at Hidden Springs. The room was at full capacity with songs and smiles! It was such a delightful night!

Every one of you in some way is helping us build these relationships that lead to Christ, and this season has been a true testament to how strong, giving, and loving we are as a church. I am truly thankful for all of you and all you do to support our Hands&Feet ministry!

There are a few more highlights below and some new updates, so please read on.

I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and all the blessings of a wonderful New Year!

Peace,
Lisa Ostrowski
