A Christmas for Someone Else

For our last Edge night of the semester, we went out in style with our annual adopt-a-refugee-family-gift-give-away-extranaganza!! Phew. Our topic for the night was “Blessed are the Peacemakers” & focused on how we can aspire to be peacemakers on earth by giving what we have to those in need. Our middle schoolers did a fantastic job of bringing in TONS of gifts for their adopted refugee families from countries like Afghanistan, Bhutan, and Burma. Want a glimpse into our awesome final Edge night (& the impressive wrapping-skills of our middle schoolers)? Take a look at the slide show below, where you can see the progression of the night, including ALL of the gifts on the stage at the end of the evening!

Praying for a peaceful rest of your Advent season,
