Date: December 11 Time: 5:30pm - 8pm Location: Ministry Center & Back 40 Contact: Taylor Haris or Bella Rivas

The Gift is returning this year to the Youth Ministry! On Sunday, December 11th from 5:30pm to 8pm, students, leaders, and youth staff will gather for a meal, Christmas program, a service project that will bless local case workers from the foster care system, and white elephant gift exchange!

This year, the ministry also has the unique opportunity to bless the Mason District Police Department Toy and Pajama Drive. Students are encouraged to bring one (or a few) NEW unwrapped gifts the evening of The Gift as a donation. Our goal is to collect 200 gifts from the Youth Ministry for the Mason Police to give to the community! The Mason District Police generously serve our church family through their help with security on Sundays and managing traffic flow. Please see the gift list below.

Students are also encouraged to bring a small gift (value $10.00 or less) for the White Elephant gift exchange. Not only will students be able to give a gift to the Mason District Police Department, but will each receive a gift to take home.

During The Gift, we will be releasing the details for the much anticipated 2023 Breakaway Retreats. Students are encouraged to invite a friend! For questions, please contact Taylor HERE.
