Make this Christmas season extra-special by blessing others!
On this page, you’ll find an array of different ways you can spread God’s love – to your fellow church members, to the local community, and to our friends in Haiti. Scroll down to get started!
RED KETTLE CAMPAIGN
See friends and neighbors as you help the local Salvation Army! Ring that familiar bell downtown! Select your day and time online by clicking here. If more than one member of your household is going, please fill in both names. Instructions will be emailed before your shift. Your help in this annual fund-raising effort supports those in need, in our very own community!
ADOPT A FAMILY
Once again, our church family is sending Christmas cheer to less fortunate families in our community! Would you help purchase presents to fulfill their Christmas wish lists? Sign up here. Please return your wrapped gifts to the church office by December 12th, with a tag listing family #, sex, and age of recipient. For example, #103, F, age 4. Thank you!
ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
Your deacons are at it again! We’re putting together an Advent Devotional Booklet that will consist only of our church members’ reflections and artwork. It’s what we call a family effort! You can bless your fellow church members by picking a passage, and writing a 100-word reflection and a two-line prayer. Or, you can submit a Christmas-themed photo or artwork. Click here to find the passage that speaks to you and sign up for it!
GOD’S GIFT SHOP
Skip the trinkets and make a real difference – with gifts that make a lasting impact! You can bring your loved ones joy and pride by making a donation in their honor, and help a third party in need. You can request branded Christmas cards from our beneficiaries to send to your loved ones in acknowledgement of the donation!
Our beneficiaries this year include:
COUNCIL ON AGING CHORE TEAM
Dedicated volunteers work year-round to make home repairs / adjustments that help seniors challenged by day-to-day living remain in their homes and communities—a gift beyond measure.
BARNABAS MEAL PACK PROGRAM
Each Friday, volunteers pack bags of healthy foods for over 140 local children who depend on free / subsidized meals during their school week – and who run the risk of going hungry during the weekend.
LA GONAVE MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPAIGN
Your donations help talented students in Haiti build on their progress by subsidizing the costs of attending Middle School, now that 6th grade is no longer the highest level attainable locally.
Download this form and return it to the church office no later than December 15. Checks strongly encouraged; early submissions welcome!
