District to hold Christmas Parties (12/13/14)

Posted by on Oct 30, 2014 in EventAnnouncement, kids, Mission: AroundTowns | 0 comments

The United Methodist churches in our are are planning some Christmas Parties! No- these won't be your typical "Office Christmas Party" gatherings where co-workers get drunk and try to be friendly. 
 
These "parties" are intended to show the love and wonder of the birth of our Lord and Savior; to show Christmas to kids who otherwise may not even experience December 25 as anything special.
 
The following is part of a message recently sent by our District Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Jisun Kwak...

We anticipate to bring "Christ"-mas to about 500 children at the three locations:  Salem, Bridgeton, and Millville.  Children in need will be invited through the school system.

We need your participation in this ministry: 

  • Prayers for each child who will be invited to the parties for them to feel the love of Christ.
  • Your presence at one of the three locations to serve and make friends with children at the party. 
  • Children's gift item or cash gift.

-  Gift items for the Children ages between 6-12.

-  Children's winter coats, new or slightly used.

-  Cash donation for us to purchase gifts on your behalf.

Please bring your unwrapped gifts, coats and monetary gift to the District Office, 149 S. Main Street, Woodstown, NJ by December 1. You may also send your monetary donations to the Delaware Bay District, PO Box 125, Woodstown, NJ 08098. Make your checks payable to: Delaware Bay.

I know many churches are already doing wonderful Christmas projects. I understand if you cannot participate in at this time. As your heart moves, you may join us.  I will be at all three locations on the 13th and look forward to seeing you if you are able to attend.

Party Locations and schedule on Saturday, December 13:

  • Salem: 11:00AM, Broadway UMC, 115 1/2 Broadway, Salem, NJ 
  • Bridgeton:  1:00PM, First UMC, 266 E. Commerce St, Bridgeton, NJ 
  • Millville:  4:00PM, Trinity UMC, 100 S. 2nd, St, Millville, NJ 


Thank you once again for who you are and for all you do!  With gratefulness to know whose we are, together we will move forward to bring Heaven in our midst. 

May God richly bless you during this beautiful season!

 DS Jisun.
