CHRISTMAS

On December 15 and 16 members of the Christian Motorcyclist Association and the Sons of Pennyrile Motorcycle Club joined Blount county’s Center of Hope mission to distribute toys and the Word to children and their parents in East Tennessee. On Saturday the toy distribution was at the Center of Hope. I was unable to attend; being at the Wreaths Across America ceremony. However, on Sunday I was able to join Center of Hope in traveling to the Appalachian Mountains to distribute toys and food to children and their families at Wynn Elementary School. As a light snow fell, I and three of my CMA brothers directed traffic in the parking lot while others ministered to the families inside. It was an all day affair.

The US Army provided two trucks designed for carrying heavy equipment to transport the toys, while a semi-truck transported the food.

Having grown up in a small mountain community, it brought back memories of going down to the local Methodist Church to receive our Christmas gifts. What a blessing it was to continue the tradition. Thank you, Center of Hope, for providing this opportunity to serve.
