Big Feet – Keysis Life Night on Dec. 19

December 13, 2010

feetGet your feet walking on down to Keysis on Sunday, Dec. 19 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. (at St. Thomas).

All too often we are willing to do works of charity but not work for justice, or if we are standing up against injustice, we forget to serve Christ in our brothers and sisters. The truth is that we cannot have charity without justice nor justice without charity.

These are the “two feet” of social justice and both are necessary in the Christian life. This night will also help us experience the power of God’s mercy so that they can have mercy on others.

White Elephant Gift Exchange – Keysis Life Night on Dec. 12

December 8, 2010

GIFTSFor most of us, if we’re honest, Christmas is about the presents. As a reminder that Christmas is the season of giving, the Keysis Life Night on Sunday, December 12 combines a service project with an opportunity for us to participate in a crazy gift exchange.  Join us for this Keysis Meal and Meeting from 6:30-8:30 p.m. (St. Thomas), and bring a friend.

You’ll need to come prepared for these two things:

1. St. Nicholas Family Donation: Keysis is collecting financial donations to provide Christmas presents for two local families in great need.  Each family has two children.  We’ll start shopping for them on the 14th.  Bring your donation to the Keysis meeting.   Make checks payable to “Keysis Decatur” and mark “St. Nicholas Family” in the memo.

2.  White Elephant Gift Exchange: A fun part of the evening will be a gift exchange of weird, wacky, and tacky gifts.  Buy something inexpensive if you want, but it’s not necessary to purchase something.  Look around your room for a weird gift that you’d like to give away to a Keysis member.  (Just make sure the gift is appropriate.) We’ll explain holiday-shopping-cartthe exchange process and rules on Sunday night.  This is bound to be hilarious.  Don’t miss this night.

Then, on Tuesday, Dec. 14, we’ll start our St. Nick shopping for our two families in great need;  6-8p.m. , Locations: to be determined on the 12th at the Keysis meeting (check the Keysis Facebook page and your email for updates.)
