Christmas in July
Celebrate by Giving Gifts to ELCA World Hunger
O Holy Night. Away in the Manger. Joy to the World! It’s Christmas in July at SOTP!!!! 
Christmas is a time of celebration. The Christmas carols, the twinkling lights, the cookies, the joy of giving gifts. A celebration of God’s ultimate gift to us: the birth of Jesus. So we’re celebrating again from July 8th – 30th to share our love for others by giving our gifts to ELCA World Hunger.
On July 8th and 9th look for the Christmas tree display. It contains ornaments for gifts like bees, pigs, goats, care for kids (like sending a girl to school, vacinations for a child or stocking a backpack with food) or even a water well! These gifts can make a difference in the lives of families in ELCA community partners across the globe. Just pick out an ornament and an offering envelop. Place your money or check in the envelop and drop off the donation in the God’s Global Barnyard “barn” at the display table, or donate “online”. Hang your ornament on the tree so we see how our gifts are transforming lives, and creating hope in the lives of families facing food insecurity. Please return all gifts/donations by Sunday July 30th.
