Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.

This week we discussed the two main rules: Love God with all our heart, and love each other as we love ourselves, as Jesus said in Matthew 22:34-40.  What does it mean to love God?  We love the people in our lives by hugging, getting to know, spending time with, and being with them.   Jesus goes on to say in Matthew 25:24-40 that if we feed, visit, take care of, spend time with,or be kind to the least of people, we have done the same to Him.  
We talked about ways we can take care of others and show God love, such as the Christmas clothing drive that All Saints is starting.  The kids are encouraged to bring in and help collect used or new winter items such as hats, gloves, and socks for the kids at New Horizons.

Each student also helped to cut Wes's hair, which was then donated to Locks Of Love, a non-profit that makes wigs for cancer stricken kids who can no longer grow their own hair.  The kids left with a homework assignment for the week: find a way to serve someone new in their lives.
