On Nov 15, we announced The City Church's first "Christmas Serve," which will take place between now and Dec 13, where we will gather to celebrate and give our gifts to friends at two great organizations. If you weren't there Sunday, email Ben to find out which project your group is doing. Here's the scoop:
It's been well said that the church is the most effective agent in bringing healing and wholeness to the world. This holiday season, we want to embrace our role in bringing hope to the hopeless and joy the broken by tangibly loving Fort Worth. Between Nov 15 and Dec 13, 2009, The City Church is partnering with two local organizations, collecting much-needed items and joining them in providing hope to local adults, kids, and families in need.
Sleeping Bags for the Day Resource Center
With winter approaching, one of the greatest needs of the homeless population is sleeping bags, to provide warmth, comfort, and safety for cold nights outside or empty cost in shelters. We hope to provide Fort Worth's Day Resource Center with several new or lightely-used sleeping bags this Christmas.
Infant Toys for Cook Children's Medical Center
At least half of the children staying at Cook Children's are under one year of age. Meeting the unique needs of these littlest patients, Cook Children's provides toys to the famlies, and our goal is to donate new, in-package infant toys to the folks at Cook Children's, to give to the families in the hospital this holiday season.
How Will We Accomplish This?
We're dividing our church family into groups, roughly based on the area of town you live in:
Each group will select which project you will be involved with, and will prayerfully set a goal for how many of your selected resource you aim to collect. We encourage you to inform others of our projects, and to gather as many resources from the different "domiains" you find yourself in: co-workers, classmates, friends, family, etc. Let's bless the people involved with the DRC and Cook Children's with tons of gifts this Christmas!
- Downtown/Near Southside
- TCU/University
- Arlington Heights/Hulen
- South Fort Worth(along the I-20 corridor)
- Let Ben know if you don't fit any of these areas.
