This Christmas season we would like to share a vision that God put on the hearts of United in Christ Ministry several years ago to demonstrate the love of Jesus for the less fortunate children of Mexico! Once again, we would like to invite you to have a special part by helping us to provide gifts for these children this holiday season.

“Navidad con Jesus”, is an opportunity for us to show the children that Jesus truly has given the greatest gift of all this Christmas, Himself. A team from Kansas will help distribute the gift bags at the ministry locations in Matamoros, Mexico.

We will have a PACKING PARTY on Saturday, December 14, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm in South Building Rooms 5&6 to put bags together for distribution on the Christmas mission trip.

FOUR WAYS TO HELP!
1) Purchase items from the list below and bring to the church office by December 9. These items will be used to pack the bags at the packing party.

2) Build your own bag. Pick up a two gallon bag from the Info Desk and put together a bag for a certain age/gender of child. Completed bags can be turned in at the church office until December 18.

3) Give a financial gift. If you would prefer to send a financial gift, that would be a blessing. Please make gift checks to UICM – Navidad con Jesus or a Wal-Mart gift card. Drop gifts off at the church office. You may contact Jason (620-344-1202) or Angela Cathcart (620-794-3914) or email uicmwks@gmail.com. Thank you!.

4) Come to the packing party on Saturday, December 14 (details above) and help pack bags.
