Our Christmas Party will be held on December 15 from 10 am to 12 pm. We are asking all the kids to bring a piece of fruit for the baskets for our shut-ins and a new or “gently used” stuffed animal or toy to be wrapped for the children of the McKinney Clinic.
We will also be gathering care packages to keep with our ongoing theme “Giving without Thinking of Receiving” for distribution to the people served by the McKinney Clinic. Bernie, the director of the clinic, has asked that we provide more men’s packages. She says that they minister to more men than women and so there is a greater need for men’s gifts. The packages should include: new white socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, comb, razor, hand lotion and a candy cane. If you would like to add anything else, please feel free (only nothing with alcohol in it). Also appreciated are gift cards from Walmart and K-Mart. A freezer bag holds the items very well. Attach a card signed by your family and send it with your child(ren) to the Christmas party or drop it off in the narthex under the Christmas tree before Saturday, December 15. Thank you for all your generosity. When making your care package, please talk with your child(ren) about how wonderful it feels to know you will make someone’s Christmas brighter by giving!
Thank you for all your support,
