Intergenerational Mission Night

Kids, Youth, Adults

Intergenerational Mission Night

All are invited to participate in the mission project which culminates at our October 20 Intergenerational Mission Night event! Everyone – all ages - can participate in some way.

This year we are supporting the Second Mile Development ministry by hosting a new toy drive for The Neighborhood Store’s yearly Santa Shop. This popular ministry allows parents the excitement of picking out and purchasing the perfect brand-new toy for their child at a fraction of the retail price. Last year they had more customers than ever before, and they anticipate the same situation this year due to inflation.

You can participate by purchasing new toys to donate. If you need ideas, ask your children or grandchildren, or go to Second Mile’s Amazon Wishlist. Find the link to this wish list below. You can bring your toy donations to our October 20 Intergenerational Mission Night event or bring them earlier and put them in marked bins in Fellowship Hall.

Intergenerational Mission Night is fun! We’ll gather for dinner at 5:00, work together to sort and prepare the toys for donation, make thank you cards for the workers at The Neighborhood Store, and bless the results of our outreach project and the families who will receive the toys. Some will then head off to The Neighborhood Store to deliver our donations and tour the facility with the Director.

All ages are encouraged to participate! Please register so we can plan for dinner.
