Thank You Gift

This week I made a simple thank you gift for all of our wonderful volunteers that help with our children and youth programs. I thought I would share in case anyone is ever searching for an easy way to say thank you to the people that make your programs possible.

This was the thank you letter:

To our marvelous volunteers at Hesston United Methodist Church,

We wanted to TAKE 5 to tell you how thankful we are for you. You have been LIFESAVERS for all of the children and youth programs we have had going on this fall. You deserve a PAYDAY or two for all of the NUGGETS of Bible knowledge you have bestowed upon us. Thank you for always being JOLLY and putting up with all of our BURSTS of energy and making sure that we learn something each week so that we are not DUM DUMS. Have a very Merry Christmas and know that we appreciate all of the extra time and energy you are putting into Bible Zone, Mission Possible, Faithgirlz, Godsguyz, Sunday School, Hand Bells, and everything else that goes on here at the church.

We Love You,

From all of the kids at HUMC

These letters were attached to little gift bags filled with the candy mentioned in the letter. I let my middle school girls help me make the bags so I can't guarantee that each bag had what they were supposed to but I tried.

Each bag should have had:

1 Take 5 Bar

A Handful of Lifesavers

2 Payday bars

2 Hershey's Nuggets

A Handful of Jolly Ranchers

A Handful of Starburts

A Handful of Dum Dums

I got the big bags of candy at Wal-Mart of the fun size bars and let the kids distribute them into the bags. The gift bags were in the Christmas aisle. As I went back to attach the letters I noticed some bags were messed up but oh well, that is what happens sometimes when you let the kiddos help! :)
