Duke & Amber – thanks for another year of Boxtown Christmas Meal Assembly!
We have our usual laundry list of ingredients to review and deliver … so here it goes:
Groceries:
- 10 loaves of bread
- 4 x 18 oz jars of jelly
- 4 x 28 oz jars of peanut butter
- 8 x 1lb bags of Sandies Cookies (or something equivalent to 200 cookies – but not home cooked)
- 2 x 110 count box of sandwich bags
- 100 brown bags
- 10 x 10 packs of CapriSun (about $2 per 10 pack)
- 100 individual bags of chips (Lays, Cheetos, etc.)
From previous years, that list has done pretty well. Nothing says we can’t do more – it’s just a guideline. Whatever we being to the Lambs will get assembled. The reason for PB&J is that meats don’t fare too well on the street – longer shelf life with PB&J.
IMPORTANT: Please bring your donations to Lake Pointe, bible studies, or simply drop off at the Welch’s house between now and the 23rd. Please reply with your donation and I’ll update the Boxtown site to keep track. http://jerrywelch.name/boxtown/christmas/
Lambs … we cannot thank you enough as you and your family will provide the service of building the meals. Between the Lambs and our Life Groups, we are poised to bless a lot of homeless people this year. I can’t believe this is our 8th Christmas!
We will be caroling as well – the music of choice is posted at https://sites.google.com/site/boxtowndfw/Home/team-documents.
There may be a special new surprise … I’m not going to reveal that just yet but it could be the single most powerful thing this ministry has ever done (right, Wes?)
If you are interested in making the trek downtown please meet at McDonald’s in Rockwall on December 24th at 10:45pm.
Outside of Rockwall? Meet us at 11:30 PM in front of the old mental health shelter. Click here for a map. We should be home by 2:30 AM. Maybe earlier.
Our Christmas music lineup can be downloaded from the Team Documents page.
Merry Christmas!

Hebrews 13: 1-3
1 Keep on loving each other as brothers. 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
