This time of year can be a difficult time for some families as they try to figure out how to provide Christmas gifts for their kids, especially considering the financial strain so many people are feeling this year. Christmas Joy is our opportunity to come alongside students and families to help make sure they have a special Christmas. Even more than that, this is an opportunity for the church to show families in our community the love and hope of Jesus in a really simple way.
Starting Sunday, November 15, we’ll have trees set up in the lobby with ornaments representing the most current donation needs, including wish lists for specific children, gift cards, and wrapping supplies. Once you’ve selected an ornament and shopped for your items, you can drop them off on Sunday mornings, or you can bring them to our office entrance during office hours (below).
