Usually, every year, our church will offer a 'Reverse Offering', in which, during the time that you would normally give your offering, you actually receive an envelope containing an offering. Each envelope contains different amounts and each recipient is asked to make spend that money by making it go farther and doing something good with it. This year, we teamed up with 2 of our favorite family friends, the Mundys & the Hobbs and we decided to make a Lemon-AID stand to raise money to contribute towards sponsoring at least one child for The Festival of Three Kings Christmas Drive (similar to Angel Tree). The kids were very excited and did a great job and overall, we actually raised enough money to sponsor 2 children...a great accomplishment for this hard working crew! It was great fun putting it all together, watching the children take charge of it and then letting them pick out the gifts for these children in need. What a great way to start off the Advent season!
