SECRET SANTA & GIFT SUNDAY 2016!!
BAGS AVAILABLE Beginning Sunday, November 6!!

Let’s give Jesus a gift this Christmas….
by loving one of his needy children.
Beginning Sunday, November 6th SECRET SANTA BAGS WILL BE IN THE SANCTUARY !!!
Please help yourself to a bag marked either girl or boy and the age you would like to shop for.
Once you have shopped, please return your gift/s back to the sanctuary as soon as you like,
or BY GIFT SUNDAY, Dec. 6!! Christmas Care will be picking them up the very next day.
Helpful Hints for Santa Bags:
* Please don’t gift wrap.
*Don’t hesitate to buy more than one of the same gift –
you will be helping more than one child. (Our gifts from each bag will be
separated to cover as many children as possible – the need is great.)
Some gift suggestions: puzzles, colouring books, crayons, markers, gloves, mittens, hats, age appropriate toys (store clerks can be helpful with ideas and Moms in our congregation too!)
OUR GIFTS WILL GO TO CHRISTMAS CARE and from there they will be distributed along with
FOOD HAMPERS.
If you would like to contribute to the FOOD HAMPERS,
please bring non perishable food items on our GIFT SUNDAY, DEC. 6.
Our Secret Santa Project has become a tradition here at First Church. Thanks to the generosity of this congregation, thousands of children have received Christmas Gifts & many families - groceries.
