Each year we help provide Christmas presents to local children whose families cannot afford to do it themselves. This year we are partnering with Operation Love to process the applications and help with the shopping and delivery. You can be a part of this caring ministry by taking apps, shopping for gifts and/or donating funds.

We are looking for some special people to help with Imagine Christmas. Let us know how you would like to be involved. We have spots on the prayer team, welcome team, cookie bakers, Bethlehem characters and tour guides, activity teams, decorating teams, or just whatever needs to be done.

Invite some friends, buy some tickets, and come join us to see if you can solve all the puzzles and escape in time!
