christmas hope 2023

UPDATE:
This mission project has been completed but it's not too late to turn in any gift cards! THANK YOU Edmond's First for:

* adopting (10) families
* providing over $9,500 in gift cards

Christmas embodies a spirit of joy and celebration, but for many families in our community, the prospect of a festive gathering or presents beneath the tree is elusive due to the hardships they face.

Both you and Connection Groups have the opportunity to be a beacon of hope by adopting a struggling family or contributing gift cards through Project Christmas Hope. Your generous actions can transform Christmas into a season of hope, ensuring that these families experience the warmth and joy of the season.

Visit the Project Christmas Hope table in the main Foyer before and after the 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM Worship Services beginning at 9:00 AM and ending at 12:30 PM on the following Sundays.

Through the Hope Center, we have ten families to be adopted. Please visit the Christmas Hope table in the Foyer to select a family. The process includes:

• Adopt a family.
• Call the family to let them know you have elected to     help them this Christmas.
• Visit with the family on the phone about the items listed.
• Ask if they want the gifts wrapped or unwrapped. If they wish to wrap the gifts themselves, ask if they need paper, bows, and tape.
• Shop for their gifts.
• Workout a date and time to deliver the gifts.
• Invite the family to Edmond's First Christmas events. Visit the Christmas web page for details:
