Dec08-Macomb News




spending some quality time with our volunteers at Dickens on the Square
I would like to begin by saying how wonderful it was to get to meet so many of you at our banquet last month. It is such an encouragement to know that so many people are supporting us and praying for us and the students we are trying to reach! Thank you so much for your support, and please keep praying!
Speaking of "thanks," last month we also celebrated with a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with our students and volunteers. It felt just like a family gathering, with everyone pitching in by bringing food, helping to cook, and getting everything ready. As we went around the table, each expressing our thanks, I was excited to be able to share that I was thankful for Autumn being at YFC for the first time. I have known Autumn for awhile now, and have been hoping that she would want to get involved. Please pray that shewill continue to come so that we can share with her the love of Christ.
We also had a new high school student attend Campus Life for the first time this past week. We look forward to seeing more of Robert and getting to know him better. Many of our high school students are involved in band and/or choir, so we are excited to attend some of their Christmas concerts this month to show our support for them and enjoy what is sure to be some wonderfullyfestive music. ~ Mandy
