On Monday and Tuesday of this week, 40 Salvationists (mostly CFOT Cadets and DHQ Officers) broke into seven teams and went to 27 Chicago Public Schools to perform Christmas assemblies. We talked to over 9000 children about the Spirit of Christmas during these presentations and had a lot of fun. We sang X-mas songs about fictitious reindeer, snowmen and an old man who knows when you are awake, pouting, crying or asleep. We also had puppets.
Each year we take part in this “ministry of presence.” God continues to bless these efforts and open unique doors for The Salvation Army.
