A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER Tri-Delta Epsilon social club excitedly planned a unique Christmas party for several young children. On a Wednesday night before Christmas, club members and their dates ventured to the Searcy housing project to adopt children for the evening. By first taking the children to church, the group hoped to "reach children and teach them about Jesus Christ by being an example and by educating through devotionals ,'' Tacy Dubach, club activities director, said. The party was one that the children did not soon forget. After church the children, assisted by their "adoptive parents " (cl ub members), made handprint t-shirts which they took home with them. The festivities continued into the weekend. On Friday night , club members took the children to dinner at Circus Capers in Little Rock where they played for hours. Fun was not the top priority, though. A more important goal for club members was the chance to "minister to children who othe1wise would not hear about Christ, " Dubach said. What could have been an ordinary Christmas party had become much more. Dubach said, "We did it , not to make ourselves feel better, but for the children." As] esus washed the feet of his disciples, so had Tri-Delta Epsilon exhibited true service by bringing young souls closer to Christ. - Alla Casey "We did it to minister to children who otherwise would not hear about Christ.
