Party for the Children

Each year, many people in the United States work hard to fill red and green bags with Christmas presents for the Living Stones children in Brazil. Due to Christmas break and scheduling, the party in Paudalho was put off until last Friday. It was a bittersweet time, as we were also announcing the end of PETI (the government program) in connection with Living Stones, meaning that the kids would not be meeting at the church anymore, but at a different location.

Emily and Lindsay were a great help, and also provided for s'mores--a first time event for the children!

Patricia and Cacau made hot dogs and cake

Flavio came and we sang songs

 

And Pastor Celso gave a word of encouragement

Let's not forget about the presents!

Thank you, all who gave and care
