Christmas Gift Party

For many years we have hosted an annual Christmas Party for the residents of a local neighborhood: We enjoy a wonderful meal together, enjoy crafts and games together, and they leave with gifts to help make their season a little brighter in His name. We begin gathering gifts and donations near the end of November.

Fall School Supply and Backpack (and Ice Cream!) Giveaway

Our third-annual Kids School Supply and Backpack Giveaway is in the planning phase for late summer 2022. In cooperation with the churches of the Soulanco Mission Connection we gather donations in August and invite the community over for a little ice cream party!
