Immanuel is celebrating Christmas in July by gathering gifts for the Metro Lutheran Ministry Christmas store. The store, which is hosted at Immanuel in December, provides gifts and food for needy families served by MLM.Last year, more than 1,000 households shopped at the store.
Gifts for women and teens are almost always in short supply, so Immanuel's summer gift drive targets those items.
Getting involved is as easy as 1-2-3:
1 - Stop by the Christmas tree in the Spong Common Room at Immanuel and pick up an ornament that lists a gift item. Pick up more than one if you're feeling generous.
2 - Go to your favorite store and purchase the item.
3 - Bring it to Immanuel and place it under the tree.
We'd like to see the entire side of the room overflowing with gifts. If you'd like to know more about the Christmas in July gift drive, or about Immanuel, call the church office at 816-931-8483.
