Christmas Outreach

During Christmastime, parishioners look forward to our ministry that provides Christmas gifts for a particular group of individuals who may have a hard time providing gifts for their children--inmates at the Hancock County Jail. Christ Church receives a list of children, whose parents are incarcerated, with their ages, needs, and wishes. Parishioners purchase and wrap gifts on behalf of the incarcerated parent. The parents are then able to give these gifts to their children during a Christmas visit. Though the child does not know, it surely means a lot to the parent who would not otherwise have this opportunity at this time.
