Unwrapping Christmas

sharing, serving, and celebrating the blessings of the season

This Christmas season, you’re encouraged to remember the gift of Jesus’ birth by sharing the blessings you’ve received with others, serving others in our community, or coming together to celebrate in a group setting. Explore the list below and choose one or several events to participate in as an individual, family, or group. Several events offer opportunities to invite a friend to join you in celebrating Christmas this year.

Community Assistance Ministry

The Community Assistance Ministry reaches out all year to those in need. Every Christmas we also receive requests from families who need help to provide presents. Sometimes it’s a toy, or a winter coat, or a pair of shoes. Sometimes it’s food to prepare a special Christmas meal. Is this something your family, or small group, or Sunday School class might be willing to do?

Shepherd Community Totes

Thanks to everyone who picked up a tote and filled it with two week's worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinner for kids on the near eastide of Indy who get most of their meals from their school. Each year, ZPC partners with the Shepherd Community Center to help feed 250 children who may otherwise go without during Christmas break.
