As we celebrate advent and the birth of Christ, I want to thank you for the gifts you have shared throughout the year. Your contribution of time, talent and treasure has helped thousands of struggling children.
Merry Christmas from Children Rising
While it is always better to give than to receive, my sincere hope is that you have received something in return…
…such as a child’s smile as they made a breakthrough in reading or math.
…or the satisfaction of making a gift to a program that is making a profound difference in your community.
From all of us at Children Rising, we wish you a very Merry Christmas, and thank you for being part of our family.
Warm regards,
Happy Holidays!

Dear Children Rising Community,
Together we are making a difference for so many “at-promise” children! In the 5 short months since I joined this wonderful community, I find myself grateful each day to be able to join all of you in this wonderful mission.
All of us at Children Rising wish each of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a New Year guided by Faith, Hope, and Love – and filled with good health, peace, and joy!
For the Children,
Jim
Happy 2017!

President’s Corner: Prayer for Christmas Presence
By Children Rising
December 9, 2016
O God of peace and love, Companion in solitude, Protector in exile –
Show us the way to stand against injustice, to protect and nurture life.
Help us to embrace simplicity, to care tenderly for others.
Teach us to conserve and preserve the natural gifts of this world.
Help us to take time to be present to one another.
Increase among us the spirit of tolerance and good will.
Bring us to the quiet still place of healing and transform our souls
into a reflection of your love and compassion. Amen.
