This was the first of three days that children
enrolled at either Head Start or Christian Child Care were bussed to
the First Presbyterian Church (FPC) for a Christmas shopping trip.
FPC set up a "store" stocked by donations from the
congregation. With a list of names in hand, each child was assisted
by a church volunteer in choosing just the right gift.
It was a fun time. The kids were super charged and excited to be
able to pick out gifts for their family.
While their gifts were being wrapped and bagged, the children were
treated to cookies and juice.

Before leaving, each child was
given a bag of gifts chosen just for them as a gift from the
church.
The event was organized by the First Presbyterian Church Mission
Committee.
