The Toys for Tots organization is collecting new and unwrapped toys to give to kids who may not get any presents this year. I chose this charity because it is being run through the student government at my school, Andover High School, and I really thought that is was a worthwhile cause.  It was a great way to support something that not only benefits a great cause but also something that I think is important. I really like that we can be of service to others. I think that is what God wants us to do. And it is a way we can use our Christian Faith even when we are at school. I think that is kind of cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arden McKenna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;25 Days of Living In The Light&#8221; For even the Son of Man came into this world, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
