Deeds of Kindness: In today's fast-paced world, it's rare that we stop to lend a helping hand and show someone a simple act of kindness. But that's just the goal of the LCC DOK Ministry. Designed with true discipleship in mind, the DOK ministry is an opportunity to do more than just tell someone about the love of Christ, it's our way of showing you.

D.O.K. CHRISTMAS 2009 - ONE YOU WON'T SOON FORGET

ANGEL TREE MALL ADOPTION/COLLECTION TEAMS: November 28 & Dec. 12
(N.E. Mall & Grapevine Mills)
Most of us have been a part of adopting a Christmas Angel (an area child that is economically challenged)…but have you ever assisted people in the adoption process of an angel or collected the many many gifts for the kiddos?? It’s amazing! These two teams will be made up of people who will give 2-3 hours on either date to help eager families at our local malls select their angels & collect the gifts.

ANGEL TREE “Santa’s Warehouse” DISTRIBUTION TEAM: December 23
Folks, this one is OUTSTANDING & WILL ROCK YOUR HEART!!! Imagine being side by side with other LCCers, friends, and family (86 in total) distributing the ACTUAL gifts to the ANGEL FAMILIES/KIDS!!!! Yes, that’s right…YOU will be in the most JACKED UP ENERGY FILLED toy warehouse you have ever been in – why? Check this out…every twenty minutes (on schedule) a new bus arrives with Angel Families/Kids and YOU get to be their “Santa” (for a lack of other words)…personally helping them one by one find their gifts, load them in a cart, and helping them back out to the buses. AND best yet…the 86 volunteers I spoke of earlier…that’s just US!!! LCC will run the warehouse that morning!

CHRISTMAS DAY MEAL SERVING TEAM: December 25
Grab the family and come serve up a warm meal! Enjoy that special Christmas morning and then come the team serving meals to the homeless Christmas day. Our teams will be serving in 2 hour shifts during the lunch meal – limited number of spots available…all welcome! Bring out the entire family!

NIGHT OF WONDERS – H.E.B. Partnership With 6 Stones Mission Network: December 14
Locally, there are many many families needing that extra assistance this Christmas. Well, we’ve formed a great alliance with the H.E.B. School District & 6 Stones Mission Network to adopt 10 local schools and specifically…the families in need at each one. LCC has adopted Lakewood Elementary as our focus school to support and make that NIGHT OF WONDERS come true! Families will be hearing the TRUE Christmas Story in an exciting evening full of encouragement and GIFTS! Each family in attendance will be receiving a FULL CHRISTMAS meal they can prepare on Christmas day.

BackPack Drive - H.E.B. ISD Back To School Festival Aug. 22
The HEB ISD Back to School Festival is a coalition of churches, social services, school and civic agencies along with the "for profit community" to give those less fortunate a "hand up" in starting the school year off right! Our goal is to supply up to 2000 children, grades K-6, a new backpack and school supplies. Statistics show that at the end of the 2008-2009 School year, 47% of the HEB ISD students come from homes that are classified "economically challenged." The district has identified 700 children they have classified as "homeless children." Thank you to all of the volunteers who participated!!!For more information, please contact LCC at 817-685-1110 or email dokministry@lifeconnectionchurch.org
