Get Connected - Saint Stephen's Santas

The community is served by providing needy families financial assistance, gifts and food at Christmas time for their entire family. Several families are "adopted" by our ministry. The church family of Saint Stephen's is served by giving our members the opportunity to find the true meaning of Christmas and the spiritual uplift that comes with helping people in the name of Christ on his birthday.

Skills Needed: A willingness to take the time to meet the family, find out what their needs may be, and shopping and delivering these gifts to the family before Christmas.
Commitment: There are three meetings and about 8 hours shopping, wrapping and delivering.
Financial Commitment: We try to get financial contributions from our congregation to cover the expenses. We encourage donations from everyone, but it is not a requirement to participate.
Need for More People: We will welcome anyone who is interested in joining our group.

"My favorite thing about this ministry is the warm feeling I get
when I see the excitement of our children wrapping gifts
for this needy family. It is the best "bow" on any
Christmas that I have ever had."
