Advent Serving Opportunities

His Toy Store: Safe Families

This year, Emmanuel is partnering with Safe Families to support His Toy Store. Parents in their program will get to ‘shop’ for their children for Christmas gifts. Emmanuel has a goal to provide at least 50 gifts to their store.

Anyone may use the list below (or purchase your own favorite toy that you think a child would like).

Bring the gift (unwrapped) to Emmanuel any time before the end of November to Amy Clow or Rachel Alvarado in Children’s Ministry. We will do one big delivery to Safe Families in time for their Toy Store.

Thank you for your participation!
