Calvary Alive Newsletter 2016 December | Page 8

Our youth gathered together to give thanks for all we have and focus on FAITH . We gather edfor fun , food , and fellowship before Thanksgiving and prepared for all that is to come with the Christmas season . It is kind of a calming point before the craziness . This year we gathered and had a blast . Although not your typical Thanksgiving meal ( Tacos ), it was what they wanted and it ’ s what they got ... along with some hot sauce ! Lol
But besides gathering to have some fun and eat , we gathered to share what makes us feel thankful . Then they were challenged . This challenge is one that everyone should take part in not just during the Thanksgiving by Jordan Palzer holiday , but any and all times . We each wrote down the names of three people that make us feel thankful ... parents , grandparents , friends who helped us through tough times or anyone else who makes us thankful . After they wrote down the 3 names , they were challenged to text , write or call at least one of the people on their list and let them know how thankful they are for them .
I would encourage everyone to take part in this activity . Not just now , but always . Think how special this world would be if everyone joined in on this simple , thankful opportunity . Our youth started it , we challenge you continue it …
