Child enlists church family to give the homeless Christmas , gifts CHKONKXE STAFF REPORT Wynter Guess, 11, has a burning desire to help those who are less fortunate than she is. She is showing her benevolent spirit this holiday season. When her parents asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she had two wishes: to feed the homeless breakfast on Christinas Eve and to give a gift of warmth to each breakfast attendee. To help ful fill her wishes, she asked the members of her church family at Goler Memorial A.M.E. Zion wymuromm Church to kind ly donate new hats, scarves, gloves and socks. The donated gifts will be given out on Christmas Eve in the multipurpose room of the Goler Family Enrichment Center, which is adjacent to the 630 N. Patterson Ave. church. Goler is led by Pastor Dr. George C. Banks. "This is what God would want me to do," said Wynter, a sixth-grader at the Mtrltafftf 1 I AJULfln rtnrtk I ? MOMNM WOHWIN ??Ul ? I MMM KMOOi Ml? I Piedmont School in High Point. Wynter does not view her acts of kind ness as unique or unusual, not even for a child of her age. "What is the big deal? Kindness is what everyone should do all year round, not just during the holiday season," she said matter-of-factly. Tame la Gethers Guess, Wynter's mother, said that selflessness was not a lesson that she had to teach her daughter. "It is a blessing to know she is learn ing that the material things in life are not what offer true happiness. It is kindness, service and healthy relationships which create moments that become etched in our minds forever," Guess said. Faith Unity brings sound of Christmas to Somerset Court Submitted Photo The group entertains Somerset Court residents. SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Residents of Somerset Court, an assist ed living home off of Fifth Street, joined in as members and friends of Faith Unity Missionary Church sang Christmas carols to diem last Saturday. The carolers came dressed for the sea son, in reds, whites and greens and Santa hats or other holiday-appropriate head gear. Children, some as young as two, joined in by either singing along with die adults or playing tambourines or bells. The 60 residents were expecting the group's arrival and were eager to enter the facility's dining hall for the joyous occa sion. Judy Williams, a co-founder of Faith Unity, kept things moving along as she introduced the group and each song. They began with one of the children's favorite songs, "Jingle Bells," and proceeded to "Deck the Halls" and "Joy to the World" before closing with "We Wish You a Merry Christinas." The group ended its visit by distributing Christmas cards to each resident and per sonally wishing them a Merry Christmas. Each card was colored by a child or adult and personally signed, bi return, the resi dents thanked Faith Unity for thinking of them and for spreading a little Christinas joy Living in the Light Devotional Reading: Isaiah 9: 1-6 Lesson Scripture: John 1:1-5; Ephesians 5:1-2,6-14 Lesson Alms: lb explain the contrast between darkness and light; to understand that as believers we imitate the Light of Jesus; and to shine the Light of love, humility and patience daily. Background: John, the beloved apostle, wrote his Gospel from a different perspective than the other three. His was more theological in nature. He taught by contrasting opposite concepts.

Today's Pennybyrn, a con tinuing care retirement com munity in High Point, was rebuilt entirely in 2007. However, the legacy of caring and compassion began 65 years ago when the Sisters of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God began provid ing services in the Triad area at what is now Pennybyrn at Maryfield. Over the years as the needs of die community have grown, the Sisters' dedication to car ing has evolved into the new. vibrant retirement lifestyle for people of all faiths.

The Sisters' ministries focus on healthcare mm and housing, education, the non-proft sector and on those who are poor, ill or at the end of-life. t "Respect, compassion and care are Pennybyrn'i founda tion; the Sisters who first came to America were on a mission to care for others and to create an environment of true hospitality; welcoming all and helping each person feel at home," said Pennybyrn at Maryfield President and Community Leader Rich Newman. "From these roots has emerged a unique retire ment lifestyle emphasizing wellness of the whole per son?mind, body and spirit.
