Mission News: Fellowship of Christian Athletes Event

On Thursday December 20th the families of Wayside Christian Mission's emergency and transitional shelter were treated to a Christmas Party.  The event was led by Chris Mallory and a group of adults who were in the same Jeffersontown High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes group.  The guests from Wayside were entertained with pizza, crafts for the kids, music, and a visit from Santa Claus.  The parents were also allowed into a special back room to pick out age appropriate gifts for their children.  Those gifts were then wrapped by the volunteers and given back to the parents so that the children could receive gifts this Christmas.  Mr. Mallory is quick to indicate that they don't do this event every year for themselves but for the children and for God's glory.  The children and the families had an excellent time and we appreciate the love that this group shows the families at Wayside.
