holiday outreach
Each year, people take ornaments off our Christmas tree and purchase gifts with the hopes of brightening the spirits of some local special needs children and their families on Christmas morning.
We also get busy baking at Christmas-time to show our gratitude for the hard work that so many in our community do to keep us safe and cared for. Cookie trays are delivered to Gates Ambulance, Spencerport Fire Department Station 1, Ogden Police, Village and Town Highway Departments, and Wedgewood Nursing Home.
We, along with four other local United Methodist Churches, work with Red Bird Mission in rural Appalachia each holiday season to provide 300 shoeboxes filled with gifts for needy families living in the Appalachian Mountains.
