Christmas From the Heart
Due to a grant from the Truman Lake Community Foundation, Living Waters Foundation was able to expand this
outreach ministry to the Lowry City children. Osceola and Lowry City children in their respective communities were invited to Christmas
From the Heart to make Christmas gifts for their family members. We welcomed the help from Lowry City Baptist Church this year.
A wonderful meal of stew, potato soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches was enjoyed by the participants and volunteers. After making
their gifts they were assisted in wrapping the gifts and labeling them. Making wreaths and door decorations was added this year at
Osceola and will be available at Lowry City next year. It was a fun, two day outreach ministry!
Some supplies have already been purchased for next year with the generous
donations from Larry and Jan Sheldon, Susan Gardner, and Merilee Foote. The
best time to buy supplies is during the post Christmas clearance sales at
local stores. Thank you! |

All expenses were covered by donations.
The volunteers came from several churches in
the community.
A warm meal of soup and a grilled cheese
sandwich was enjoyed by each of the children and volunteers.
This year we estimated about 75 children were
in attendance.
Next year we hope to bless even more families. |
