We are excited to represent the Foster Youth Ministry at this year’s Alternative Christmas Market!!
It is hard to imagine walking in the shoes of children who have been separated from their parents for any reason—especially at Christmas. The Foster Youth Ministry will focus on providing Christmas gifts on the wish lists of 100 local children who are dependants of the county child welfare system. We will also have a list of 25 young adults who have aged out of the foster care system and are now being mentored by Just In Time for Foster Youth. These gifts are a tangible expression of the love of Christ; they build self-esteem and let them know they are valued.
Our tree at the November 19th Market will be adorned again with stars, each one containing a gift wish.
- Select one or more stars from the tree representing a gift that you or your small group wishes to donate (Most gifts are $25 to $50).
- Register the star/gift that you choose at our ACM table.
- Gift items MUST BE NEW and UNWRAPPED.
- Before dropping off your gift, securely fasten the corresponding star to each gift donated.
- Please bring gifts to the church patio on Sunday, November 26th or Sunday, December 3rd. Our team will check in the gifts. You may also bring the gifts to the church office on weekdays up until the deadline date of Monday, December 4th.
