This being my first year as a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program I had no idea what was in store for us when I took my little sister to the Christmas Party sponsored by Lewes Church of Christ at The Crossing. I had heard they gave the children a very nice party, but I had no idea how much time and money was spent on it. It went way beyond what I had ever imagined.
They put on a magical show for the kids , played games, led them in singing carols and provided the largest homemade cookie assortment I've ever seen! But most astounding of all was the generosity by the church and its families in providing an overstuffed Christmas bag of gifts individually chosen for each of the 25 or so children that were there. They even provided gifts for each volunteer in the program such as myself !
I am writing this letter because I feel this church deserves a public thank you for all they do for the children of this community . I would also like to personally thank the Bohinski family who helped make Christmas extra special for both me and my Little Sister this year!
