Our yearly Christmas project is in the early planning stages – will you help us with your donation of gifts, time, or cash?

Each year, the Fireside Room is transformed into “Christmas Gift Central” for the students of our neighboring school, River’s Edge Alternative School. We provide gifts for the 209 students (free of charge) to select for their immediate families to open during their family Christmas celebrations. For many of these students, this is the first time they have been able to give a gift to their loved ones. It has been a real blessing for us to watch them try to understand why their needs would be met in this way by complete strangers. Providing an opportunity for students to “give back” to someone else is a great way for them to experience the joy of giving.

To make all this happen, we need your donations:
• Unwrapped NEW gifts of all types: for moms and dads, and brothers and sisters of all age ranges
• Wrapping paper, gift bags, tape, ribbons and bows
• Your presence in helping the students select gifts and then wrap them

*Donations accepted any time in church office*
