Christmas Mission 2007

For the past six years, CSF has brought the love of Christ to over 700 underprivileged children and the teachers who teach them at Walter Bicket Elementary School. This year will be the same!

How it works:
Every child at the school gets to fill out a card with their name, age, grade and of course what they want for Christmas. On the day of the Christmas Party, they are presented with the gift they asked for and an 45 minute Christmas presentation from the volunteers at CSF. We do drama, live music and we tell the meaning of Christmas in a way they can understand. Yes....even at a public school, we mention the love of God and how he sent his son to be born on Christmas morning. It is a great day!

Your Part:
Please pick up one or two of the "tags" that has the kid's names and their gift request on it at our Christmas Mission table located in the CSF Breeze Way and info area. Purchase a gift under $20 and bring it back wrapped and with that name card securely taped on it.

You must have your gifts here by December 9th.

Also, we need people to serve in these ways:
* Band and singers to perform for the kids at their school party.

* Elves to help teachers with their class parties on the afternoon of Dec 14th.

* Delivery volunteers to help deliver the gifts to the school on Thursday, Dec 13th in the evening after school is out.

* Administration volunteers to help process all the gifts and make sure each gift has a tag and each kid has a gift.

This is a huge mission for us every year.....thanks for helping! If you would like to volunteer, please email Clint@charlottesouth.org


We have our Fellowship Service this Wednesday night. We will celebrate baptism, communion, have incredible "Christmas Worship", and learn how to have a meaningful Family Advent this Christmas Season.
