Thankful Praise to God and His Servants!

Happy New Year to all, 

 Thanks so much for the wonderful toys and food items you either 
sent or brought to the MOWA Choctaw Friends Center.  We were so blessed 
this year and were able to meet the needs of nearly all who came our 
way.  The families were selected from a mobile pantry sponsored by the 
MCFC and Mobile County Food bank.  We were able to serve 125 families an 
average of over 50 lbs of food per family.  As you know these were 
targeted at risk families. You helped make a difference this Christmas 
in the lives of these families.

57 families received Christmas boxes and a 97 children were able to have 
a gift this year.    In most cases we were able to put 2 toys in each 
box for each child.  The adult count is a little less clear, we placed 
items for families in each box like shampoo and body wash and other 
essential items.  Last year we were able to pass out to 30 families and 
this year was nearly double.  Thank you for sharing and caring.   Gods 
love in action speaks louder than all the preaching in the world.

After finishing such a blessed and busy Christmas season, the time has come to catch you all up on events happening around here and what we look forward to in the new year! On December 10th, the youth were able to serve God by visiting the local Nursing Home as mentioned on the previous post!

                                       

                                            

Weeks followed with our Community Christmas Dinner, ASP Christmas Party, Youth Christmas Party, Our food and toy drive and the ASP's Christmas Program. Friends and family of the children came to watch their loved ones perform the story of Jesus in a matter of music, comedy and tradition with "Drummer Boys", a dance done by the young ladies, an Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas with the K-2 class dressed in the manger scene!
