MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We had over 250 Bags of Blessings donated to Living Water this year--outstanding!

Maria Guevara blessed us with some special treats at Christmas.


We handed out our Christmas groceries in the SNOW! It really was fun!!


We had all hands on deck.

Our own Santa---braved the snow for us!


Merry Christmas to the friends of Living Water!! We are so grateful for everyone who has blessed Living Water this year--whether it was through bringing a load of clothing, a Bag of Blessings, volunteered, or made a donation. It's been an EXCEPTIONAL year at Living Water! We've added a number of volunteers this year--including some former clients. That blesses our hearts. We've seen donations from new friends. But most importantly, we've had 68 people give their lives to Christ this year through this ministry!!
We just want to thank you for your involvement. Please pray for us in the coming year. We want to do everything to the praise of His glory!
If you intend to make an end-of-the-year donation to Living Water, please mail it to us at 103 W. 4th St., Borger, TX 79007 to arrive in our mailbox on December 30. Our office will be closed the week of Dec. 27-31.

Thank you, again, for all you do for Living Water. We pray each of you are blessed in 2011!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Living Water's Volunteer Appreciation Christmas Party

Living Water had their first-ever Volunteer Appreciation Christmas Party this past Thursday, December 2nd. It was so much fun! So we thought we'd share some photos of this event with you.

This was the Christmas tree we put up in our chapel--where we had our party. We'll be having a drawing to give it away to one of our clients at our Christmas Food Distribution.

Debbie Chowins made cookies for our party.

We thought they were so cute--but they were also delicious!

David & Lindsey Dietz catered and served for the evening.

The decorations were really pretty.

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Gib Welch (right) was honored during the evening for being the Volunteer of the Year for the Panhandle of Texas!
Micah Scheffler was honored for being our youngest volunteer of 2010.
Jess Bonner (head of table) was our resident auctioneer for our auction later in the evening. Our volunteers brought gifts to be auctioned and the proceeds went to Living Water.

More guests

Burton & Janice Williams

Clarence McDaniel (left) was honored for his 8 years of serving on the Living Water Board of Trustees. He's been a huge asset.

We had salad, brisket, beans, baked potatoes, bread and apple dumplings at our meal.

Lindsey serving the guests

God's Country entertained us for the evening

Their band consists of Stu Denton, Sonny Clayton, Jodie Brock, Jeff Walker and Tommy Birch.

We heard some Christmas and gospel favorites.
It was such a fun night that I think we'll make it an annual event!
