Community Stories

January 2, 2025

This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight Christ Community Church and their amazing youth group for their heartfelt service at Residential Plaza Blue Lagoon in Miami. These incredible teens brought festive cheer and genuine connection to the seniors, hosting a memorable holiday tournament filled with laughter, games, and holiday spirit. 

The event featured Christmas Bingo, Scrabble, and Dominoes, where seniors and youth joined in friendly competition, sharing stories and moments of joy that bridged generations. The energy and enthusiasm of the teens lit up the room, creating an atmosphere of celebration and togetherness that truly embodied the holiday spirit. 

What stood out most was the effort and care the youth poured into making the day unforgettable. Their warmth and kindness were not just about playing games; it was about creating connections and reminding the seniors that they are loved, valued, and part of a vibrant community.

This is what the spirit of service looks like—young people taking the time to uplift and bring joy to others. We hope their example inspires more groups to get involved. Whether it’s through games, conversations, or simply being present, small acts of kindness can make a world of difference in the lives of our seniors.

Thank you, Christ Community Church, for spreading so much warmth and joy this holiday season. Your dedication and compassion remind us all of the incredible impact we can have when we come together to serve. Let’s carry this spirit into the new year, finding ways to bring light and love to those who need it most.
