Christmas Giving Opportunities
CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD
For two decades, PCPC has supported a Christmas giving program initiated by Bill Wallof, Dean of the Chapel, to “purchase” gifts for others in need in Africa. Now, we have expanded this important program to reach the villages our church works with in Mombin Crochu, Haiti, and San Francisco, Honduras, where medical clinics serve those often unseen in the world today.
Since 1995, we have sent groups to Haiti, and, more recently, to Honduras, to support small medical clinics there, sharing hope and healing.
Starting November 29 and going through December 20, tables will be set up in the courtyard each Sunday where you share the gifts of Christmas with others and receive an even greater gift for your heart. You may “purchase” goats, chickens, support clean water, medical and prenatal care, support treatment of malnutrition, offer school support, and more. Online orders will also be possible at villageparntersinternational.org. These “purchases” will be given to those most needy by hospital leaders, as the love of this time is shared near and far.
GIVING TREES
Giving Trees are up around the church campus! Please support this year’s Giving Tree by selecting a tag and purchasing the item(s) listed. The recipients of your generosity will be Guardian Ad-Litem, Bethel, Created, FED, and the McClain House. You can also mail or drop off monetary donations/gift cards at the church office.
