We have a new parent at Tall Oaks who is very happy with the education her son is receiving at Tall Oaks Classical School and the partnership between school and family.
While they do not have much to give financially, this parent understands that tuition does not cover one hundred percent of the cost and wants to help do her part to provide financial aid.
So, armed with a letter describing the school's scholarship needs, she presented the case to her employer who, in turn, contributed $150 to help needy families. This parent used her good relationship with her employer to present us to someone who we would not have reached out to.
Armed with this success, she is now embarking on coordinating an all-school cookbook fundraiser like she has done in another venue.
Our work as stewardship officers is to help others see that they have something to contribute, time, talent, treasure, and a Good Word. God has been and is generous to distribute these. Our work is to help unearth them and to encourage generous living.
This week we remember the ultimate giving act - when the God of the universe deployed His Son, Jesus, to live among us and to experience the greatest gift of all , eternal life.
Merry Christmas!
