We're excited for our building partners, St. Vincent de Paul charitable pharmacy, and the potential expansion of their services to all of Texas! They do fantastic work and we're looking forward to more Texans being able to access their services. 💊👨🏽⚕️🎉
In less than three years, St. Vincent de Paul's pharmacy has dispensed more than 32,000 prescriptions to North Texans.
We love Liz Vice's new recording of her song, Refugee King. It reminds us that the story of Jesus is not distant from our friends in Vickery Meadow.
Refugee King (re-recording)
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I cried the first, second, and third and four... you get the picture. I love the first recording but this one just hit harder as if the piano and the strings and the glockenspiel (which is a weird word to spell) and @imcharlesjones’ voice were a lullaby for my soul. ✨✨✨
Thank you @tylerchester for asking me what I wanted on this song and painting a beautiful scene. Thank you @jeremystanley for finding a sixth wind after cutting together a feature film sized Christmas Eve service. Thank you @imcharlesjones for being that still calm voice.
And many thanks to all who participated and made this video what it is.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Happy Christmastide everyone.

The final tally is in! We had another mini #VickeryChristmasMarket this past Friday and in total we served 290 families with over 880 gifts. Each family also received a gift card from the Make It Matter Foundation. Additionally, over 300 volunteers came to help for all the different events. Thanks for all who helped make the event such a success! 🎄🎁🎀
We had a great time watching the premiere of Northwest Bible Church's online Christmas Eve service with some of our After School families last night. If you want to experience it, it will be available to stream all day on Christmas Eve! 🎄

Jim and Linda are superstar volunteers at the NCC and we're delighted to see them featured in this piece! Their love for children is clearly evident and our After School students are frequent beneficiaries of that love. 🎄💌🎅📬
It’s been a tough year for mail delays. But in Dallas, those letters to Santa don’t have to go too far. A Lake Highlands couple is continuing their tradition of accepting mail addressed to the North Pole and making sure those letters get a response. They told NBC 5’s Allie Spillyards, it’s a good deed they believe is more important than ever this year.

#funfactFriday Did you know we had not one, but two Christmas parties this week? We had one with our After School students and another one with our Youth. 🎄🎉✨
We had a terrific time celebrating together and discussing why we celebrate Christmas. The youth were also excited to see an old friend return after a long while. ☺️

#VickeryChristmasMarket was a terrific success yesterday! We were able to provide 714 gifts to 233 families and each family also received a gift card that was provided by a generous donor. 🎄🎁🎀
We wouldn't have been able to do all of this without the 180 volunteers that came yesterday, the 150+ that helped the days and weeks before to prepare, and the hundreds more who purchased gifts.
We're so grateful for the families and volunteers who came. Merry Christmas.
#VickeryChristmasMarket is almost here! We'll be updating in our Instagram stories today, so follow along!
Wrap Battle Party: Part 2 was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who came out to help prepare for #VickeryChristmasMarket. We are looking forward to sharing God's love with our refugee neighbors tomorrow! 🎄🎁🎀
#VickeryChristmasMarket is tomorrow! 🎄🎁🎀 We're as excited for it as Faith is to be with this gigantic plush unicorn. 🦄🤣
#VickeryChristmasMarket is in two days! Bring a canned food item and get a Christmas toy! Need more than one? Bring more items! 🥫🎁
Also, Wrap Battle Party: Part 2 is tonight! Who's going to win? Vote for your fave, Jeff "Candy Cane" Cross or Jean "Christmas Bandit" Congera!
We ❤️ Vickery Kids Club.
