Please join with others at the First Presbyterian Church of San Pedro in completing "26 Acts of Kindness" to honor the memory of those who died in Sandy Hook, CT. Pastor Neal described this effort and compiled a one sentence biography of each victim.
26 Acts of Kindness
(A Gift for You and the Children of Sandy Hook Elementary School)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
(Romans 12:21)
If you would like to experience the blessing of Romans 12:21, do one good deed daily for 26 days in honor of each person on this list.
Brief bios are provided for those who would like to customize their acts in some way,
but any act of kindness (buying someone else's lunch, picking up trash somewhere, drawing a picture for a
friend, etc.) will be good. To keep track of your progress, circle one star below for each good deed that you
have done. You might also wish to list each deed beside some person's name. You may write in additional
names (for those you love) at the bottom.
