Holiday gift 'shopping' has never been more fun or easy!

Instead of shopping at the big box stores, shop homemade goods from your fellow congregants.

Step 1 - Make it:

Whether you knit it, carve it, print it, fold it, sew it, paint it, glue it, or a verb that hasn't been invented yet, bring it in! Starting Sunday, November 23, a table will be set up in the Clara Barton Lounge. Bring in your handmade crafts to donate by placing them on the designated table with a suggested donation value anytime between November 23 and December 21.

Step 2 - Shop it:

On Sundays starting November 30 through December 21, you can purchase any of the handmade items by making a thoughtful donation, which will be used to fund church social justice projects in the coming year.

Step 3 - Gift it:

Wrap your gifts and give them to those in your life who deserve something unique.
