For this year’s Advent Mission Project, we will be collecting children’s Christmas gifts for area families who are struggling financially.
If you are feeling especially generous, reach out to Karla at missions@rofum.org and you can adopt a whole family of children through the Metro Detroit Youth Club, based in Royal Oak. You will be asked to purchase 2 gifts and a stocking stuffer for each child in the family. Families range in size, so you can request the size of family you are able to support, ranging from 1-6 children.
Alternatively, you can pick one or two tags off our “giving tree” on the Connections Table in the Gathering Space. Shop for those items and return them to the church collection bins by December 15. Feel free to bring in any fun, unwrapped toy of your choice, as the giving tree simply gives ideas for those who need them. These gifts will help stock the Cass Community Social Services Christmas Store where nearly 300 families in Detroit will “shop” for their kids’ Christmas gifts.
