Kirby Pines residents and Retirement Companies of America, LLC have contributed a total of $9,381.00 to Samaritan’s Purse for “Operation Christmas Child.” This money will be used to purchase shoeboxes filled with Christmas gifts which will be distributed to children around the world in over 150 different countries. For many children, this will be the first Christmas gift they have ever received. Samaritan’s Purse is a part of the Rev. Franklin Graham ministry located in Boone, North Carolina. This is the 4th consecutive year that Kirby Pines residents have participated. In September, a challenge was presented to our residents that we raise $7,000 to purchase 280 shoeboxes. Our residents gave so generously that we exceeded our goal by $2,381. With the amount raised this year, we will be able to purchase a total of 375 shoeboxes.

The church organ was blessing in their lives but in the lives of thousands of others all broken and the plans for the coming Christmas celebration could over the world. not be used. In this frustrating situation Father Mohr brought out a poem he had written’. He asked his church organist, Franz “Silent Night” presents lyrics that talk about the birth of Emmanuel, Gruber, to compose music for it. Gruber composed the tune for ”God with us.” (Matthew 1:23) It refers to the singing by angels two voices and a guitar, and that’s the way it was presented at the of “a Savior born.” And it sweetly but powerfully presents the Christmas Eve service in 1818.
