This year, 2013, we took 26 kids Christmas shopping!! I'm sending the annual report about our Coffee Can Fund at Plum Point Baptist Church for 2013. We're still trying to be of some aid to families who need a little help when some sort of hardship like losing their home by fire, or maybe a financial difficulty because of illness, occurs.



Our big blessings come from the kids we take Christmas shopping. If someone in the church knows of a child, or children, who might not be having a good Christmas because of something like family financial circumstances, we take them shopping and spend $200.00 on each child. Some of us from the church go with the child or children and a family member to shop for clothes they need. We also get some fun things that they choose for themselves.

Each Sunday, just before beginning our adult Sunday School class, we pass around a Maxwell House coffee can (our offering plate for this) and collect for this fund. We enjoy this part of our service because we know we're doing something that benefits others.

If anyone would like to be a part of this by helping with our collection in the Maxwell House coffee can, please get in touch with Pastor Lewis Haynes at 96 Maple Tree Street, Columbia, KY 42728; Billy Rice at 391 Plum Point Rd., Columbia, KY 42728, (or Billy's Body Shop on Knifley Rd.); David Mann at 215 Deerbrook Lane, Elizabethtown, KY 42701; Plum Point Baptist Church at 6107 Knifley Rd., Columbia, KY 42728, or any member of the church---and it will be put in the can. Every penny will be used for this program.

We've been doing this for a few years now, and it seems to get bigger every year. Shopping with these kids not only makes the kids happy but the person helping them probably feels even happier and certainly blessed.

Thanks,
