We invite you to join us in worship followed by fellowship with sweet treats.

Pray. Begin with a time of prayer for your Christmas in August project.

Choose. Select the missionary or missionaries you will gather supplies for and decide which supplies you will gather. You may send several of the same item, a few of the items, or some of all of the items.

Promote. Tell others about your project, including your family, friends, church family and colleagues. Send out a list of the items you are collecting. Share when and where to leave the gifts. Get creative as you promote Christmas in August; use social media accounts, post on your church’s website, ask for a special announcement, and place the information in your church bulletins and programs. Some churches put up Christmas trees, place cards with the requested items on the trees, and invite their members to select an item from the tree.

When a high-school football star is suddenly stricken with irreversible, total blindness, he must decide whether to accept his new reality or attempt a return to the game he still loves.
