    Enjoy Fun, Food, Fellowship and SERVICE with a Holiday Co-op!

    With the holidays often comes a time of stress and commercialization and we often end up dreading, rather than enjoying one of the most important holidays of the year for Christians!  Why not plan a holiday co-op so that your family can join along with others to celebrate while serving this year?  If you begin planning now, you can make this year's Christmas experience one that your family long remembers.  Listen in as I share a few ideas on how to make a holiday co-op fun and meaningful. As promised, here are a list of favorite Christmas book titles.  If you visit our Facebook page you can add more titles, or see what others add!  https://www.facebook.com/dpkproductions The Tale of the Three Trees by Angela Hunt The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg We believe in Christmas by Karen Kingsbury The Christmas Candle by Richard Paul Evans Operation Christmas Child by Franklin Graham The Clown of God by Tomie dePaola Jacob’s Gift by Max Lucado Trees of the Dancing Goats by Patricia Polacco The Pine Tree Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs Song of the Stars by Sally Lloyd-Jones The King’s Christmas List by Eldon Johnson The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey Book by Susan Wojciechowski The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado The Christmas Scrapbook by Phillip Gulley The Homeless Christmas Tree by Leslie Gordon The Gift of the Magi by O’Henry Also, Advent Books (which do not work well for a co-op unless your co-op meets daily, but are great to include in your family traditions) are Jotham’s Journey, Bartholomew’s Passage (both by Arnold Ytreeide) and The Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp.
