This week, we are wrapping up our Christmas For Kids program for 2008. It’s been amazing, once again.

Each year, we learn a little more and we are able to pull it off a little better.

First, huge kudos to Kathy Hawkins. She led the charge this year and did an astounding job of coordinating all the different aspects of CFK. Hundreds of volunteers flocked to her engaging leadership. Kathy Hawkins rocks!!


It was so cool to have so many new people, as well as many of our “old” faithfuls, totally engaged in this effort. Shopping, wrapping, delivering and connecting with people. Such a great team.

Our church is so hugely generous. I know we are supposed to be in a recession but our church family hit it out of the park once again this year. We sponsored 369 kids at $75 a kid. When it’s all said and done, at least $30,000 invested into blessing kids and families this year.

What really makes CFK so special is the many wonderful stories of individuals touched by CFK. Both those who gave and those who received. It's not just about a huge number. It's about each person and their story.

We are trusting God to use this labor of love to draw people to Him.

Way to go Rock Church!!
