Christmas Wish
Help make a family’s Christmas merry and bright!
Our mission partners serve some incredible families and we have the chance to help by providing gifts for multiple Christmas stores in the Indianapolis-area!
LifeBridge -
Operation Bright Christmas - An after school program in Beech Grove schools that provides Christ-centered community for students from elementary to high school. Each year they host Operation Bright Christmas, a Christmas store shopping experience for low-income parents of LifeBridge students and other parents in the district. The event includes a Christ-centered worship program and shopping experience. Your gifts will support approximately 150 children in Beech Grove schools. If you're interested in volunteering for the event on Saturday, December 14,
sign up here.
The Creek Christmas Store - A Christmas shopping event we'll be hosting for families we've supported in the past year through the
Generous Ministry and
Food Co-Op. We're excited to provide an opportunity for parents to connect relationally and choose gifts for their children on Saturday, December 7.
Sign up to serve at this event. Access Special Needs Ministry Christmas Party - Our collection this year provides gifts for an Access Ministry (special needs) Christmas event! This event will allow individuals with special needs to shop for their parents.
Learn more about Access and serving with this event.
What we can do:
1. After picking up a scratch-off card on Sunday, November 3, learn the age and gender of a child (or parent!) to buy for.
2.
Go shopping and return your new, unwrapped gift to the church building and place it in one of bins by each entrance. If you don’t want to shop in person, shop our Amazon wish list. The list has our address listed so you can ship it right to The Creek! Please keep gift cost at or below $30.
Return or ship gifts to the Creek between November 3-24. Thanks for making Christmas for these families extra special this year!
