“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.” - Luke 6:38
For about $100, you could buy your child the latest video game and a sweater for your significant other.
Or, you could give a month’s worth of infant formula to a baby in Kenya to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in breast milk.
Many of us already have our needs and most of our wants met. What if instead of falling into the normal Christmas shopping routine, we honored our friends and family by giving in their name to those with far less?
Come join us at McDonough Presbyterian Church this Sunday (December 4th) and next Sunday (December 11th) during the Alternative Christmas Giving Bazaar! Learn more about our current projects and discover ways you can give to ChangeOneLife this Christmas. Representatives from COL will be available at our table from 9am-1pm. MPC’s Local and Global Mission Committee will be hosting this event as a way to offer an alternative to the tradition of giving gifts for Christmas.
