Christmas: From Family to Family
2021
Our Christmas Store to benefit families in our local community and congregation experiencing financial difficulty is back! 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, 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 or online.
- In-Person: Visit the tables as you exit the worship services on November 14, 21, or 28 to select a tag for a gift you plan to purchase.
- Online: Grab a tag HERE from now until November 28.
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!
Collection Details:
- Find a gift that fits the gender, age, and is within the price range on your tag.
- Attach the tag to the corresponding gift you purchase. Please leave gifts unwrapped.
If you did an online tag, please attach something to your gift indicating the gender, age, and price range from that tag. - Bring the gifts and attached tag:
Sunday Mornings:
November 21, 28 or December 4/5
