This Christmas we have the opportunity to share the love of Christ with 21 families in need at the YMCA by providing them a copy of the Jesus Storybook Bible and a small gift. 

Our Missions Mobile is one way our children can participate. The books on the Missions Mobile are selected to help our children "put their mind on the things of the Spirit" Romans 8:5. The Gathering has encouraged our kids to save some of their money and purchase a book of the cart in the lobby. For each book bought, the church will match and buy a Bible for the families in the YMCA. We have enough right now to purchase 14 Bibles. We need seven more to meet the needs for this Christmas. Between now and December 13th, let's aim as a church to meet this need. Please encourage your kids to use some of their savings to buy a book or buy a book or two for your family for Christmas.

Additionally, we would like our families to take one of the 21 ornaments off the tree in the lobby and buy a small gift under $10 for the families and bring back to the church by Sunday, December 20th. Gifts should be something appropriate for a boy or a girl pre-school to school age. Games, crafts, etc. are great ideas.
