MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII, KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii -- The base chapel aboard MCB Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, is scheduled to host a special Christmas Worship Service for military families with disabled children, Dec. 7, from 2 - 4 p.m.
"This event was scheduled so children with disabilities can celebrate and enjoy Christmas during an interactive worship service," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Joshua Kimble, religious programs coordinator for the base chapel. "In order for this to be successful, however, we need volunteers who are willing to donate their time and assist in various activities for the children's enjoyment."
Volunteers are needed to assist with face painting, food stands, and the live petting zoo, all activities planned for the occasion. Children will have the opportunity to learn about several animals including goats, pigs, sheep and dogs. Afterwards, a base chaplain will share historical accounts about the baby Jesus, then they will be invited to sing "Happy Birthday" during the celebratory party for Jesus, complete with cake.
Anyone who is interested in volunteering for this event can call Joshua Kimble at (808) 257-3552, ext. 28.
