BRIGHT Lights Christmas
This year we were excited to have two other Arizona Bright Lights groups join us for our third-annual Bright Lights Christmas Party. What a beautiful sight it was to have 34 godly young women joined together to bring honor to the Lord.
We began the evening with prayer, reading Scripture, and some get-to-know-you activities. Then the girls enjoyed appetizers, cookies, hot chocolate, and lots of candy. Shortly thereafter, we split into teams and drove to Walmart (with the help of seven mothers and my good husband). At Walmart we sang Christmas carols at the front entrance of the store, praying that others would hear the gospel message through song.
We then went shopping for children at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home which is a Christian organization that cares for children who are separated from their parents. The girls were responsible for selecting and purchasing gifts for seven children in need. The girls also handed out candy canes that had Scripture verses about Jesus Christ attached to them and wished store patrons a “Merry Christmas”.
Once the shopping trip was done, we gathered back at the house and had a time of prayer for the children who would receive these gifts. The prayers were so sincere and humble that many of us had tears in our eyes. What a wonderful time of fellowship we enjoyed!
