CovPres Christmas Service Project: Christmas in Fairfield

CovPres families we have the opportunity to share the love of Christ with our neighbors in Fairfield. 

We hope your family will be involved in this great endeavor in some way. What a joy to give and share the Gospel!

Christmas in Fairfield - beginning Sunday, October 20

What:
Helping in what Dr. Tom Edwards, a physician & Covenant member, initiated last year in the Fairfield community by providing gifts and clothes for approximately 150 children!

How:
A toy store is set up in the basement of Church of the Reconciler in Fairfield, Alabama. CovPres volunteers purchase toys through donations and stock the store. Parents are then able to purchase gifts for their children at greatly reduced prices…what joy parents feel when they are able to provide Christmas gifts for their children.
A special time of prayer is offered to families to truly show the love of Christ to His people.

Who:
Families are selected to participate in the Fairfield Christmas Shop from Fairfield ministries sponsored by CovPres, Dr. Edwards’s ministries, and CovPres nursery employee’s children.

How can your family be involved?
Sponsor a child: Purchase clothing items for a particular child, pray for this child, and donate money towards the store. A devotional book with sorties about a typical Fairfield family, Bible verses, and suggested activities will be provided in the sponsor packet. You will also receive a bank for your family to save money to help purchase toys for the Fairfield Christmas Shop. Please come to the church foyer to pick up a sponsorship packet & bank.

Make a donation: We hope to purchase 500-600 toys/gifts for $25,000. Please consider making a generous tax-deductible gift!
Make checks payable to: Hope Health Center (Christmas Project)
Mail to: 4614 Carnegie Avenue, Fairfield, AL 35064

 Volunteer: There are many volunteer opportunities. You can learn more about volunteering by picking up flyers at the Sponsor Registration Table in the church foyer. Or by contacting Sissy Flynn at sissyflynn@bellsouth.net.

  Please donate used children’s books, which will be free to shopping families.
