The season of giving, a lifestyle of leading by serving

In terms of major holidays, Christmas is right after Thanksgiving which means we move from the season of gratitude to the season of giving. We go from a busy season to an even busier one, from the planning of parties and gatherings, to the buying and wrapping of gifts, not to mention wrapping up the year itself. Why is it that we only emphasize gratitude and giving during specific months? Why can’t we incorporate these ideals daily? We can and I’m proud to be a student at Harrells Christian Academy where we make serving others a part of our lifestyle. Here are a few activities that we have been up to lately.

Toward the middle of November, our Senior Beta Club collected hygiene items and assembled “Kindness Kits.” These kits included items such as deodorant, shampoo, combs, toothbrushes and paste, and even socks. The Senior Betas wrote notes of encouragement and prayers and sealed them within the “Kindness Kits.” These kits were distributed to a group of homeless people living in tents under a bridge in Sampson County.

Also in November, HCA’s Spiritual Life Director, Melody Powell, led the entire student body to participate in collecting and packing and praying for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes, a Samaritan’s Purse project. Crusaders K-12 donated small toys and gifts and personal care items. Our middle and upper school students packed a total of 133 boxes. These will be gifted to boys and girls around the world for Christmas.

On the very last day of November, the Senior Beta Club hosted a Sampson Regional Medical Center Blood Drive on the HCA campus. Crusaders sixteen years and older as well as other adults gave blood. One donation can save up to three lives, and the need for blood is constant because it is essential to help patients survive surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries.
