“Gifts
of Love”
Christmas Gift boxes for kids in
Hurricane devastated areas
Plan:
From September 11 until November 23, Early Childhood and Elementary
Ministries will be collecting items to fit in a shoebox to distribute
to children in the hurricane devastation region for Christmas
gifts.
Each week, a different item will be focused and posted on website,
online and bulletin. If you miss a week, you can bring it at later
date.
Children are to bring in items for the age, size and sex that
they are. This will help us have boxes for multiple ages and for
both boys and girls in approximate numbers. (Additional help from
families without kids or from grandparents will be greatly appreciated.)
