Christmas Elves & Holiday Joy

Christmas Elf Roles for Holiday Joy Event – December 8, 9, 10

 

The Interfaith Holiday Joy program providing Christmas gifts for children/youth is transitioning from a gift delivery event to a holiday gift store where parents can come and shop for their children. The gift store will be at First Congregational Church on December 9 & 10. You can help in two ways – Choose a gift to shop for from the Advent Tree starting November 20 or contact Kate Eifrig or Mona Slagle to become a Christmas Elf for the actual event. Below are some anticipated elf roles and time slots.
