This year VSIBC did another Christmas store for the children. I love this ministry! All throughout November and December the kids can earn Victory bucks by saying Bible verses, bringing their Bible to Sunday School, and bringing visitors. We have the people of our church bring in gifts that the children can buy for their family. And then on a Saturday we set up the auditorium like a big store and they can buy gifts for their family and friends with money that they have earned.
It teaches them so many wonderful principles of giving and working!
It's a flurry of activity and so exciting! We have so many people come out to help us because it does take a lot of workers. I'm thankful for the faithfulness of the people of VSIBC and their dedication to the Lord!
Then that night was High Springs Christmas parade. This is one of my favorites! Just a small town parade where people gather and put blankets on the sidewalks and watch as tractors and local clubs and schools walk by all lit up. We just love it! And it's so much fun to have friends join us too!
It was just chilly enough for us Floridians to feel Christmasy in the cool weather!
So much fun!
