Great Christmas Party and Project!
What a great Christmas Party! We played the "Christmas Music Trivia Challenge," created "Human Christmas Trees," exchanged gifts, and ate so much food. It was at this time that our Christmas Projects came to a close. There were 113 6th and 7th graders that brought 314 total gifts given to the Dorcas House. It was a great time. Here are a couple of pictures of all those gifts...

Christmas Party
This week is really the last "thing" of the year. You have heard it before, but one more time just to keep you in the know. The Christmas Party will happen this Wednesday night, 12/12, from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm. We will feed the kids, play games, learn a few reasons why Jesus came into the world, exchange gifts, and complete our Christmas Projects.
Be sure not too confuse our gift exchange and our Christmas Projects. The students need to bring a wrapped gift costing no more than $5.00 to the Party. It does not need to be labeled. It will be used in a massive gift exchange for the night.
The Christmas Projects are for the Dorcas House. Each student was assigned a kid from the shelter. They are encouraged to bring a clothing item, toy or age appropiate item, and a gift for a woman. The kid's gift needs to be wrapped and labeled. The woman's gift needs to just be wrapped. We do not have the ladies' names. We receieved the sizes directly from the shelter, so when in doubt, get the bigger size.

Last Night of Common Ground
This coming Wednesday will be our last night of Common Ground. It has been an absolutely incredible semester. We have had more students this year than ever before in the history of First Baptist Church.
We will conclude the semester with a powerful activity. Last week the students submitted questions into a box. They could ask anything on their heart or that they had been wondering about. This week our time will involve us answering these questions in front of the group. No one knows who asked what question. This has given kids the freedom to ask a variety of questions. Remember, contrary to popular belief, questions are good. Middle School Students need the opporunity to question life and faith.
