Compassionate Friends

It is said that there is an underground network of people in our society that have unfortunately experienced the death of a child in their immediate families. This type of loss is one of the areas that speak to me the most in my position with XXX.. Therefore, our team had devoted the month of December to help meets the spiritual needs of those who have lost a child. Below are the event details: XXX is hosting Lubbock's first Compassionate Friends remembrance on Sunday, December 14th. If you or a loved one has experienced the loss of a child, please participate in this healing evening of honoring each child that is loved so very much. The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting®, held annually the second Sunday in December unites family and friends around the globe as we light candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, creating a virtual wave of light, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memories of children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political boundaries. Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the Worldwide Candle Lighting, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone.

Kids in the Kitchen

Decreasing the prevalence of childhood obesity is one of XXX strategic priorities. To help accomplish our ministry's goal, XXX, United Supermarkets, and Junior League of Lubbock partner to offer "Kids in the Kitchen." This event aims to educate our communities’ children in making healthy eating choices, staying fit, and increasing pediatric heart health. In addition, special activities invite children to understand the benefits of being healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Below are some of the projects details from 2009.

Covenant Children's Hospital Transition

Post Project Quotes: “Words can not begin to express my gratitude for the planning, hard work, dedication, great attitude and overall teamwork. Every detail was considered and explored in moving our children to the new facility safely and seamlessly.” ~ Brett Esrock, COO CHS

Spur Elementary School

My sister is a Kindergarten school teacher in Spur, TX. Every year, I assist her in creating a haven for her children to flourish in and grow in. Thank goodness for the special talents of people like her.

This year, the theme was "Rain forest." We created a waterfall to display all of the children in their safari hats outside her classroom, as well as, a life-size Amazon tree in her classroom with all the bells-and-whistles.

Hopefully, through giving back to our community and helping the teachers who give the most to our children, our nation's future will be GREAT!
