Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrew 13:8
www.trinitystjoe.org December 15, 2017
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 “…For God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
Throughout the week students have commented to me to come and see all the presents in their classroom for the “Wish Tree.” “We have so many presents for Wish Tree,” one student said. “I think they are going to have a REAL good Christmas,” said another. “I hope we can make them happy,” still yet another student.
We have been showered with your generosity and kindness. Seriously, it has been overwhelming. We thank you on behalf of the families who will be blessed this Christmas with your donations. God’s goodness has shown through your actions.
