FOR
Christmas
November 3–December 31
As we have in years past, we invite you to look beyond our own community and bring the joy of Christmas to families around the world. Imagine blessings that find their way to men, women and children throughout Chicagoland and cross the ocean to fall upon India, Albania and Kenya. Envision gifts that uplift children in the Dominican Republic and bring the hope of Christ to people in remotest Thailand.
This is the essence of our FOR Christmas giving initiative—a vision where the heart of God and His Church meets the needs of the world. Learn about all the partners we are supporting through this Gift Catalog.
