CHRISTMAS WITH DIGNITY TOY DONATIONS

Beginning this Sunday, a box decorated for Christmas will be in the sanctuary to receive toy donations supporting the Common Ground Ministries CHRISTMAS WITH DIGNITY event which will be held in our Undercroft on December 13.

Donated toys are collected and priced at 1/3 of the original price, then offered to the families of the students who attend CGM. This event begins at 9:00 for families only invited to purchase.

Then from 11:00-2:00, anyone may shop and purchase at the reduced rate. What a great time to purchase Christmas gifts for toys, bicycles, games, sporting goods, etc. for children of all ages! This is a fundraising event for CGM which supports the SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM for students registered at CGM.

An online purchasing opportunity is available through YOU GIVE GOODS. Pick up a flyer available at the main entrance or the ramp entrance for a QR code when using this program.

Please let your families and friends know of the event and come at 11:00 on December 13 to purchase gifts at greatly reduced prices.

Warming Center

Central Presbyterian has committed to serving as a Warming Center for those adults who don’t have a place to go to keep warm through the night. We open when the temperatures drop to 30 or below any time between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM, or when the temperature is 32 or below and we are experiencing precipitation. Our facilities will accommodate up to fifteen individuals, men or women. We are not able to accept families or children. We will provide a hot dinner and breakfast, a cot to sleep on, a blanket and pillow.

Your Opportunity:

Each night we are open we need three adults to welcome our guests and stay through the night. We need at least one man and one woman. If you want to help us as a host, please contact the church office, cpcwax@gmail.com them to the laundry mat.
