Putting Connect, Grow, Serve, and Go into ChristmasChristmas is just around the corner! How do you spend your Christmas season? To me, December seems to be one long breath of anticipation, especially for the little ones. Here are a few ways that families and single individuals alike can put PMC’s theme or Connect, Grow, Serve, and Go into every day during this season. CONNECT Watch the Sunrise: Let’s face it; we don’t get enough sunshine in the winter period and much less in Southwest Michigan. Check the weather beforehand and find a day when you’ll be able to watch the sunrise. You can watch the sunrise from the comfort of your porch. Warm up with some tea or cider while you watch the sky light up. After, have a short worship and sing some Christmas carols. Feed the Birds: Make popcorn chains; cover them with peanut butter and bird feed. Hang them outside on your trees and bushes and watch God’s nature enjoy your gift to them. GROW Groups:
Over this Christmas season think about how you, a PMC member, could potentially be involved in our amazing GROW Groups during this next year! Would you like to be a leader or simply a participant in our many different kinds of groups? SERVE Remember Others: Place a box or a bag under the Christmas tree for a family or an individual in need. Every day up until Christmas place a
gift, card, or money in the bag. On Christmas make a special visit and share your presents! GO Volunteer: Spread the Christmas warmth with others this season. Why not take a day out volunteer at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter? This Christmas season make some new traditions for you and your family for this year and the years to follow! by Rebecca Coleman, Editor, Pioneer Connect
