There is quote posted on a bulletin board in my office that says, “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. . . ” There is a lot of “unlocking” going on at Edmonton Christian Schools as we head towards Christmas! Here are just a few examples in pictures:
~~~~~~
Grade 9 Art students from ECNS help Mosaic Centre get ready for Christmas dinners served to people in need:
~~~~~~
Grade 4 students from ECWS show off some of the 180 pairs of gloves they have collected so far for Hope Mission Rescue vans:
~~~~~
ECHS Students and staff pack the food and gifts they donated into (huge) hampers for families from our own community:
~~~~~
Shoeboxes were packed for Samaritan’s Purse by Kindergartens at ECWS and ECNS as well as Gr 3 at ECNS:
~~~~~
Seventy two blankets and $250 collected for Mosaic Centre by ECNS Gr 1 students and boxes of cards and treat bags, made by Gr 2 students at ECNS, for those having Christmas dinner at Mosaic Centre.
~~~~~
God has given us the fullness of love in the child we await this Advent. In gratefulness, we love others, and, lo, a Christmas miracle: we experience the fullness of life! What a story we live in!
