Christmas for the Community

Pastor Jim likes to remind us that the church is not just a building! Here are some ways we are supporting the community this month. Please join in as you are able and be the church wherever you go!

Monaca’s Hometown Christmas: December 6th, 5pm-7pm

We hope to see you at Monaca’s Hometown Christmas on Saturday, December 6th from 5pm to 7pm. Find our booth inside CJ Mangin this year! We are asking everyone who stops by to make or sign a card, which we will deliver to patients at Brighton Wellness in time for Christmas. (These cards make such a difference! Last year, a recipient cried upon opening their card, as it was the only one they received.)

Christmas Gifts

We are delivering Christmas gifts for patients at Brighton Wellness who will be alone for the holiday. We are also surprising the staff of Brighton Wellness who are working on Christmas Day with a small token of appreciation.

We contributed $500 from our We Care fund to provide toys for local children through Monaca’s “Santa Cops” program.

Christmas Carols

We will be caroling at Brighton Wellness on Sunday, December 7th at 2pm. We also will be caroling “around town” on Saturday, December 13th at 1:30pm. We’ll meet at the church before heading out both times. Come and help us make a joyful noise!

Mitten Tree

We are collecting new winter hats, gloves, and scarves to help men, women, and children in need. Please leave your donations on or around the “mitten tree” located at the stairwell landing outside of the church sanctuary.
