"Last year in December of 2009 I was one of the lucky individuals to be adopted by Epikos Church. This was a very special Christmas for me. I had never had people that I had not even met care so much if I had a good Christmas or not. One thing that I really found to be heartwarming was that I had asked for a laptop, now I did not think that I would actually get it but it was just a thought. I did get the laptop after all from a couple apart of the Epikos family. I remember thinking that I should thank these people in person and so I went one night to church and I loved it! I am now an active member of Epikos. This is my church family. The Adopt a Family for Christmas thing is a wonderful idea and touches the hearts of many people. This year I am participating in the program. This is special to me because I am giving back the joy that I found last Christmas. Thank you Epikos! :D "
