Every December, Landmark hosts a Christmas Store for kids in the community. The children get to pick out presents for everyone in their immediate family with the help of a church volunteer, and then the presents are gift-wrapped by another team of volunteers. Cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee are served to parents who wait for their child(ren) to return with their treasures. We use this opportunity to spread the good news of Jesus’ birth by intentionally using Christ-centered gift bags and providing every child with a short book on the birth of Jesus.
The 2023 Christmas Store served 163 children from the area, totaling 852 gifts!
