Packing Party: Thursday November 16, 6pm; Gym
Delivery Day: Saturday, November 18, 9am; Sanctuary
We LOVE our city! And we want to bless and serve our Wichita community in any way we can. One way we do this is by packing and delivering 300 boxes brimming with holiday food to local families and individuals. We reach out to area elementary schools – like Washington and Colvin – and Wichita ministries – like World Impact, HopeNet & Embrace – and they choose clients that would most benefit from the boxes. We meet in the Gym to fill the boxes – a great way to serve for all ages. The best part is, we get to personally deliver boxes to local homes, where there is often the chance to connect and pray with recipients.
You’ll need to register online for the Packing Party.
All are welcome for Delivery Day – no registration needed.

Event Details
Date TBA
We’re partnering with Youth Horizons to provide gifts for at-risk kids who need not only the joy of receiving a Christmas present, but also to know they are valued, loved and prayed for. Stop by The Giving Tree in the lobby and choose the name of a child to bless with Christmas gifts. Then, shop for the gifts on their list (between $40-50), wrap them, and return them to church along with a personal note. Return the wrapped gifts to the church (date TBA). We also have the opportunity to bless the parents of these children through a $10 gift card per family. We can’t wait to see how God uses these simple acts of giving to impact the hearts of kids here in Wichita!
The Giving Tree
1. Step 1 – Choose the name of a child (or parent) from The Giving Tree at church. Each child has shared a few ideas of things they would like to receive.
2. Spend no more than $50 and no less than $40 on gifts for each child. (We recommend that you buy at least two gifts for each child.)
3. Wrap the gifts (they can be wrapped separately or in the same packaging).
4. Put the first name and last initial on each gift as provided by the profile.
5. Write a note to the child and attach it to a gift or place it inside; this step is essential and a great way to let the child know they are loved by Jesus and being prayed for.
6. Return the gifts to the church date TBA
Please shop for gifts that match the interests listed on the profile of the child you are sponsoring. Remember that some of the older kids like gift certificates and gift cards. All kids love candy!
