This is an annual event which started in 1994 where the entire church body of Living Christ comes together to work on gifts for needy children and adults. We need as many people as possible to help us accomplish the following tasks in one evening. MANY coats are purchased with funds provide by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
The coats are matched up with hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves donated by members, many being knitted or crocheted by the Prayer Shawl Ministry women.
Personal hygiene items are donated throughout the year, sorted, and packaged into around 80 gift bags for needy families in our community.
The event is held on the second Saturday in November. The fun begins with filling the gift bags and matching the coats with scarves and mittens followed by dinner and time for fellowship. Mark your calendar now so you do not miss this evening. You will have a great time and you will feel good about brightening someone’s Christmas.
Matthew 25:40 “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
