Advent Devotional – December 14

To Worship the Christ child, sharing gifts and love with the children of Christ

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. – Hebrews 13:16

I can always tell that Christmas is close when I see large black garbage bags and bicycles lining the hallway at Bluff Park.  Today, Bluff Park and 5 other United Methodist churches will host 670 children and their parents at the Festival of Three Kings.  What a wonderful day of fun we will all have as we play games, paint faces, dress up as angels and have pictures made with Santa Claus.  While the children are having fun at the craft tables, their parents will pick up gifts selected for the children by the many sponsors from the churches.  Bluff Park members sponsored 110 children this year.

At the end of the day everyone will smile as they remember the happy faces of the children and their families.  Thank you for your support of the Festival of Three Kings.  Giving to others is one of the most meaningful parts of the Advent season.
