We enjoyed Hamburger Soup at church last evening and then we all gathered in the Sanctuary to put up the Chrismon tree. The men got it leveled, the star on top, the lights on, and then the kids decorated it - they had a little help with ladders as some of the decorations needed to be put up high. The Christmas boxes under the tree are all presents for children here in Merced that will be distributed by our local Salvation Army. They so appreciate the help this gives them and it benefits our local children who need them. I believe this is the third year we have done this and it is growing, as we had 60 boxes to fill this year, the plastic shoe boxes are donated by Thrivent Financial.
