Wow!! Where did all this snow come from? Grandpa Henry has been busy outside, shoveling snow, clearing sidewalks, and all the gang have been helping, too. Have you been able to stay warm inside?
I thought I heard Vinnie saying something about his dad being away this weekend. We will have to check in with him on Sunday and find out how everything is.
Hope to see you then- 9:45am at the KidStuf Clubhouse in Pebble Park!

December 13, 2009- Compassion
This month we learned about:
Virtue: Compassion- caring enough to do something about someone else's need.
Bible Story: The Baby (Jesus is born) Luke 2:1-7
Bottom Line: God gave us the greatest gift. What will you give?
As Tyler was practicing saying Merry Christmas in every language he could find, Gordo busts onto the scene, trying frantically to hide from his young cousin staying with them for the holidays.
Tyler soon convinces Gordo that he must be compassionate with his young cousin- maybe reinact the whole Christmas story for the boy so he would know what it is actually all about, instead of driving Gordo crazy with all the other "Stuff" that has seemed to replace the original story.
As we learned more about the greatest gift ever, it became evident that Tyler was on to something.
After reading and acting out the original Christmas Story, using animals, dolls, halos, bathrobes and flashlights, Gordo's young cousin is hit with the realization ofwhat we are truly celebrating.
Gordo summed it up well when he later said, "Jordan … Jordo … and I are getting along a lot better. But I don’t know who the Christmas story helped more, him or me. God’s compassion makes me want to show other people compassion."
May you all have a wonderful Compassion filled Christmas centered on the BEST GIFT EVER GIVEN!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! See you Next year at the club house!
