After many hours of practice, the dozen students of Libby Adventist Christian School presented their Christmas program, including a skit "More Blessed to Give" as well as vocal and chime musical selections.
In addition to presenting the program for family and friends at the school, the students performed for the local nursing home and Achievements, an organization which provides residential and employment services for persons with challenging mental, emotional and physical disability needs.
In keeping with the message of their Christmas skit, the students chose to gather donations for ADRA again this year. Students, families and local church members donated $427 for ADRA projects.
The students enjoyed choosing projects from the 2007 ADRA Gift Catalog. A few of the projects sponsored with the donation included buying goats for families in Tanzania, feeding a family in Kenya for a year, purchasing books for children in Mongolia, and providing chickens for Chinese families to raise as a source of income.
