Christmas Gifts for Children
Moreover, it is God’s gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil. Ecclesiastes 13:3
We take joy in giving new Christmas gifts to local children. In 2025 we served 30 families including 104 children. Praise God for the families in our community.
Parents completed a form for their child. One new gift was given to each child who had an application. All gifts were appropriate to the wants and needs of each child.
We take joy in giving new Christmas gifts to local children. To meet specific needs of the children, we collect monetary donations to purchase toys and presents. If you know a child in need, contact our church email or Jolie at Oxyoke Construction 518-494-7358
