Christmas is about us receiving the greatest gift ever—God becoming one of us in Jesus! AND Christmas is a powerful opportunity for us to respond to that gift by giving gifts of our own. Every year at Woods Chapel, we have the chance to celebrate Jesus’ birth by channeling some of our resources to specific ministries that mean something to us individually or as a family. All of what we give toward The Gift goes toward our mission of connecting people to Jesus and the ministries that help make that happen.

Think about, pray about, and talk about what gift you might give this year to the areas listed on the card (there’s an explanation of each area below). You can return the card by mail, drop it in an offering box or manger at church, or give a gift online HERE.

Our gifts make a difference and celebrate Jesus’ birth!

CLEARR Ministries

CLEARR is a faith-based community for individuals impacted by addiction and seeking to overcome it. This ministry provides support to individuals and families in crisis, directs them to free or low-cost long-term care facilities, and offers a supportive community through worship and discussion sessions at CLEARR Nights on Tuesday evenings.
