CHRI STMAS TOY STORE 2 0 1 4CHRI STMAS TOY STORE 2 0 1 4CHRI STMAS TOY STORE 2 0 1 4CHRI STMAS TOY STORE 2 0 1 4 Volunteers, new toys, books, games and clothes are needed for the 2014 Christmas Toy Store Ministry. Bibles and other items to complete the store will come from monetary gifts. Volunteers will receive toys at Grace Baptist Church on Monday, December 1 through Friday, December 5, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Please take items to Grace Baptist Church at designated times. (Deliver to rear of church -- look for Christmas stockings on the lattice.) Toys may be left at the YBA Resource Center at other times.

Qualifying low-income parents are invited each year to purchase items through the store. These items are sold at nominal prices. The money is used in crisis ministry. Why charge? Many shoppers are recipients of crisis ministry. They want to have a part in helping someone else. Also, parents want and need to have a tangible part in providing for their children at Christmas. We believe that this is every parent’s desire. The Christmas Toy Store Ministry provides this opportunity.

Counselors share the Gospel with all who shop. Families receive Bibles and other materials. Each year, we have found ways to provide ministries to families thoughout the year.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING TIMES:

PREPARE STORE: Monday-Friday, December 1-5, 2014 - 10:00am - 1:00pm (Men needed to set up tables on Monday, December 1 at 9:30am)
