Heart Of Christmas
What is the Heart of Christmas?
Heart of Christmas is our partnership with local schools and organizations to provide gifts for families and students who are unable to afford them during the Christmas season. Our heart is to meet a tangible need, while creating lasting impact. In 2023, because of your generosity we were able to give 171 gifts to local students and families in the F/M Area. Because of you, a child was able to experience the Heart of Christmas.
How can I be a part of the Heart of Christmas?
On Sundays December 1st & 8th in either of our lobbies look for Christmas trees filled with wooden ornaments and a numbered tag. Each tag will list a gift wish from each child. Please grab a tag, purchase a gift, wrap it, bring it back, and place it under the tree by December 15th. Our team will deliver the gifts to families right in time for Christmas. Merry Christmas!

The partner school/organization determines gift recipient eligibility and provides us with a list of those individuals. To help with organizing gifts, and due to privacy, we ask for initials (not full names) age or grade, gender, teacher or organization.
The Heart of Christmas initiative allows us to impact students/families who are unable to afford gifts during the holiday season. We believe that this small act of generosity can shine the light and love of Jesus on families throughout our community this Christmas season!
