The Giant Cupcake and more

Once upon a time, around two and half years ago, in Rogers, Minnesota, a new bride was packing her belongings into a Uhaul trailer to move to Canada. One of the items that most confused and surprised her groom was that the giant ceramic cupcake that was almost forgotten was required to come. This giant cupcake was given to the girl when she was a baby, at a baby shower by the lady that made it.

Every year on the little girl's birthday, she would bring the giant cupcake filled with eatable cupcakes inside to school to share with all of her classmates. This tradition was one sweet memory of childhood.

Fast-forward to present day...this strange cupcake once again has a use! In doing Christmas Party Clubs in Orillia, we are doing a "Birthday Party for Jesus". The kids have really been grasping the idea of how Christmas is really Jesus' birthday but we often forget and ignore Him on His birthday. The giant cupcake has come along to remind us that the biggest and best should go to Jesus.

Please pray for the kids that have come to the two clubs held and those coming to the two next week. Two children came to know Christ this week!

Something extra special this year is that we were given a scooter and two bikes by a family moving to Italy that we have been giving away at the Christmas Parties. All of the kids names are put into a jar and one is drawn as the winner. It has been an incredible object lesson of how nobody deserves the bike, but it is a gift to them. God gives us an incredible gift of forgiveness that we don't do anything to deserve.
Our verse is 2 Corinthians 9:15 "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"
