Family Christmas Stockings

Each Christmas season, we identify opportunities for our church to make a difference in the lives of people around us. This year we will be adding a new Stocking Tree to our Christmas Outreach. This tree will mainly focus on our Thomas Road Families. Our goal is to assemble 500 Stockings that are stuffed with small toys, Motts Fruit Snacks, Teddy Graham Crackers, Gold Fish, Fruit Roll-Ups, and Fruit Gushers, and gift cards. We will provide a “Stocking Stuffing” packing event for our people to get involved in stuffing stockings for Christmas.
