Good and Perfect
Christmas Ideas for the Girls
If anyone is interested in donating Christmas gifts for the girls, gift cards for things they can go out and do would be fabulous! Suggestions: movie theatres, bowling alleys, shopping at Walmart or Target, roller skating, eating out, etc.
“Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above.” ~ James 1:17
Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for our Agape Angels to recognize all that God does provide for us, and that those things that are “good and perfect” come from Him.
~ for the girls as they spend time at home with families over this holiday weekend, that they know the blessing of God’s presence, and are able to recognize all that they are thankful for.
Praise Reports:
~ For the donation of milk, cereal, fruit, string cheese, juice and snacks; as well as office and school supplies, and Christmas decorations!
~ for a leaking water heater, that it is under warranty, and the blessing of JC donating his time to check into the problem, and then install the new unit.
~ for the blessing of sharing a Thanksgiving meal together with students, staff and volunteers yesterday at Agape School. Thank you, Amy, for making and donating the turkey!

~ for several of our volunteers, and/or their families, who are in need of God’s healing, strength and comfort for a variety of reasons.
