Christmas: From Family to Family | 2026
Mt. Horeb’s Family to Family Christmas Store is a special opportunity to come alongside families who need a little extra support during the Christmas season. Working with local school districts and our church community, we invite parents and caregivers to shop for Christmas gifts for their children in a welcoming, joy-filled environment. We are asking you, as the church, to purchase new gifts and donate them to stock the shelves of the store. Families who could use some assistance in providing gifts for their children for Christmas will come shop, selecting from the donated items, receive prayer and can even wrap the gifts onsite.
To ensure that families can choose from gender and age appropriate gifts, we have created “gift tags.” Each tag is marked by a type of gift that is needed (age, gender and gift value). These tags are available in-person only starting November 15 until they are all taken.
- Pick up a tag – Visit the tables as you exit the worship services on November 15, 22 or 29 to select a tag for a gift you plan to purchase.
- Purchase a gift that fits the gender, age and price range on your tag. (View list of recommendations here.)
- Attach the tag to the corresponding gift you purchase (please leave gifts unwrapped).
- Bring your gift to the Missions Center on your way into Sunday worship services from November 22 – December 6. You can also bring them to the Missions Office* November 22 – December 9. No Saturday collection.
Take as many tags as you like, but we do ask that you return a gift for every tag that you grab. They each represent an actual gift for a child!
*The Missions Office building is a brick house on the back of the parking lot, near the outfield of the baseball field.
