First Christian Church

Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life movement. Coming up this Saturday Feb. 16, you can help a local group with their Relay for Life efforts at the First Christian Church.

There will be a blood drive with the Community Blood Center today (Dec. 10) from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the First Christian Church, 200 South Limit.

Kids, this weekend was a rarity. For the first time in our area, there was a perishable food drive held for the Open Door.

Kids, as we all know, I am a sucker for animals.  Just last week, the boyfriend and I nearly walked away with a dog after an adoption event.  But rest assured, we walked away without the dog, and only because it's not feasible NOW to get one.  We will have a dog when we're not living in a one bedroom apartment.

Kids, around this time of year a lot of groups are gearing up for the big Relay for Life Fundraiser.  It's a great cause, and I'm sure all of us in some way or another have been touched by cancer.

Kids, here around the holiday season a lot of people are thinking about how fortunate they are with their own lives and families.  I know I am.  And sometimes I know people can be at a loss as to how they can give back a little to the people around them.
