This year Praise is partnering with Crosslines to provide gifts to children in need across the Ozarks.

With options at multiple price points, everyone can participate in the joy of purchasing a gift for a child this Christmas. Choose a price point and pick up a gift--or two--and let the gift-giving begin!!

• Small Gift = Less than $10
• Medium Gift = Less than $15
• Large Gift = $25

Each child will receive at least 3 new toys. Gifts are due on December 8th and can be returned to the sleigh or gift box in the lobby.

Please Note: This year, gifts should *not* be wrapped when they are returned to Praise.

The gifts will be gathered and taken to Crosslines. On Dec 21st, families in need will shop the donated toys for their children. If you'd like to be a part of that shopping experience, click the link below to volunteer with Crosslines on Dec 21st.

Mark your calendar and make plans to join us for one of our favorite services of the year. On December 24th, at 6pm, we will gather to celebrate the wonder of Christmas and Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us!

This Christmas tradition is for the whole family. Join us as we take a moment on the eve of the celebration of Christ's birth to remember why Christmas is full of joy!
