CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR KIDS THANK YOU

I want to send a THANK YOU for all of those that contributed to our 2009 Christmas Party for Kids. It was a tremendous success as we served over 300 children and 125 families with gifts and food bags!

We had the most awesome volunteers this year! Gifts came from everywhere and monies came in to make it all possible. Big Idea Entertainment provided "Bob" and "Larry" for us and they were great! Tanya Marks, Children's Pastor from Columbia Grace Church of the Nazarene, presented the Biblical Christmas story in a most awesome way. EVERYBODY had a great time and, yes, the Jolly Ole Elf himself showed up and the kids got excited. Over 300 children came, representing 125 families. The children received great gifts and each family left with a food bag!

In preparation for the event, we had 2 corporations send us volunteers to help. I must thank Nissan Corporation and Comdata Corporation for their volunteer time in preparing for the event. They put food in ziploc bags, sorted toys, placed toys in bags, cleaned up the building, and provided toys and monies for the party. I am so thankful for thier willingness to serve. Also, a girl scout troop came and decorated the building and did a tremendous job as always. It was their third year to come and do so. Thank you, Monica and your troopers!!!

MCM is truly a blessed organization to be so honored with this opportunity to meet the needs of those less fortunate. It is a privilege to serve God by serving others! God is using this mission to present the gospel message, and at the same time, meet the needs of those destressed. Let us all to faithful to God as He continually is faithful to us! Bless His Name!

CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR KIDS

The time has arrived for our annual Christmas Party for Kids! We are looking forward with great anticipation this year's event set for Saturday, December 19. Again, we will have two parties, the first one from 10am until 12 noon and the second one from 2pm until 4pm. Seating is limited to 300 childred because of space. It will be great fun for the kids and at the same time be reminded of the true reason for the season, which is to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus!

We will be needing lots of help and resources so if you are able we would really appreciate your participation, no matter how small or large. We need toys and lots of them for ages birth to 18 years old. We need lots of staple food for the food bags we give to each family as they leave. If you want to make a financial contribution, you can make a check payable to Music City Mission and mail to P.O. Box 110913, Nashville, TN 37211. Pease give me a call at 615-310-8463 if you have questions or need additional information. WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!

Thanks in advance for your interest and your willingness to participate. If you can't do anything but pray for this event, then God will bless you for your faithfulness and bring honor to His name. I trust that this Christmas season will be an awesome time of celebration and that your family will find strength, hope, and assurance in our remembrance of Christ's birth and that we do in fact serve a risen Savior. May we always serve God by serving others. Jack Myers
