Sem Kids Christmas Party!

Saturday morning was the annual Sem Kids Christmas Party, which is put on by the Seminary Women's Association (SWA). A truly good time was had by all! In many ways, it had the same feel as the Mt. Calvary Advent Celebration from last week: game stations, craft stations, cookie decorating, and snacks.

One of the really nice extras at this event was the "kid's Christmas store" activity. Here the kids go off to another room and gather/make/buy presents for their parents. (I cannot be sure what was going on in that room; it was off limits to parents. However, David and Emily went in with a little money and came back out with less money and a set of wrapped gifts for Mommy and Daddy.)

Although Heather and I volunteered a little time at the event, there were a number of folks who put in a huge amount of effort to pull this off. They did an awesome job! (Note: Most activities on campus rely on an "everyone volunteers a little and benefits a lot" approach to staffing. For those of you reading this blog as you considering a stay with us at the seminary: This is a great strength of the campus community.)
