5th Graders Experience The Gift Of Giving
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Acts 20:35
On the Friday before Thanksgiving break, the fifth graders visited Sweetgrass Village Assisted Living and experienced those very words from Paul in the book of Acts. The boys and girls knocked on doors, passed out gifts, visited with residents and ended with a program of singing and poetry recitation. The most beautiful part of the field trip was watching the students stretch their comfort level by asking the residents for their names so they can specifically pray for them throughout the year. The residents were honored and the students experienced the blessing of giving away gifts, time, talents and a bit of their hearts through prayer. We look forward to our follow up visit in March.
