Ministry Christmas Party and More!

Happy New Year!  Before we went on Christmas Break, the Elementary Ministry had their Christmas celebration on December 14th.  In the past we did a grab-bag gift exchange along with games, and enjoyed cake and ice cream.  Well, this year we did things a little differently.  Although we enjoyed the ‘ono cake and ice cream, the students brought in one or more canned goods to donate to the Neighborhood Place of Puna, an organization dedicated to helping families in the Puna area.  We also made simple Christmas cards that were sent to some of our military troops that are from Hawai’i or have Hawai’i ties.    I know that the people at the Neighborhhod Place of Puna were very thankful and said that the canned goods will be used because they are seriously needed.  So mahalo nui to all our keiki that donated and made Christmas cards. God loves a cheerful giver!
