Surprising and fun ways to celebrate the holiday season will be offered at Lifetree Caf\u00e9 at 7 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Lifetree event, called “A Christmas Surprise: Rekindling the Joy of Christmas,” features a filmed interview with a man who bakes, decorates and gives away more than 4,000 cookies each Christmas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alan Kobs is in his home kitchen daily from October through Christmas, but he doesn’t consider it a burden.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s in the giving,” Kobs said. “I think about the people who are going to be the recipients of these cookies and the joy it might bring.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Participants also will be offered the opportunity to provide a hands-on surprise for members of the local community who must work on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Caf\u00e9 is at the Community Room, First Christian Church, 11717 240th St SE, Kent<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lifetree Caf\u00e9 is a place where people gather for conversation on life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
