Lullo/McCarty Family Service Project: Cross-Cultural Ministries

As a part of our church small group, Kevin and I have the opportunity to partner with a group called Cross-Cultural Ministries.  As described on their website (http://www.ccmatlanta.org/), "Cross Cultural Ministries operates a non denominational center for children ages 5 to 18 who want to benefit from education and school subject tutoring in a Christian environment, various clubs, and family support."  We don't get to serve with them as often as we would like, so we were thrilled to have the opportunity to help them prepare for Christmas.  On Saturday December 14, Kevin and I spent several hours labeling, sorting, and preparing gifts for the children who participate in CCM's activities.  While we didn't get to see the joy on their faces as they received their gifts, we had a great time being the elves behind the scenes and imagining how loved and cared for they would feel when they received what would likely be the only presents under their trees.
