Gifts of Love for Kids & Keep Our Neighbors Warm This Christmas

December 5, 2025

Church Secretary

Keep Our Neighbors Warm. We are collecting NEW socks, hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets for all sizes and ages. These will be added to Christmas for Kids gift bags, NOW Backpack Kids, and Christmas Day Meals on Wheels stockings. Bring your donations to church with you or drop them off by the office during business hours.

Gifts of Love for Kids. We will help about 150 children have a brighter Christmas this year. If you can help by fulfilling a wish, please let Pam know and check your email daily for an updated list as wishes get checked off. If you know of any company that may be able to help us collect toys, let Pam know — she'd be happy to contact them and explain our ministry.

Return your unwrapped gift to church by December 9th, with the gift tag or family number included. If you'd prefer to make a monetary donation instead, we have elves standing by to shop.

As you choose a gift, pray for that child and their family. Our hope is that God's love will shine through us to the families who are challenged to give gifts to their children this season.

On the day parents pick up gifts, we will also offer them the opportunity to choose other donated items for themselves or their family. We are collecting gently used winter clothes, coats, shoes, Christmas trees, and other decorations, along with wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, tags, and gift bags. Household items are welcome too — and if your kids are cleaning out their toy boxes, gently used, clean toys are welcome as well, to bless other children.

Toy pick-up is December 13th from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. We need several volunteers on that day.

If you would like to help in any way or have any questions, contact Pam Caffey at 214.538.4727.
