Holiday Serve Guide

Happy Holidays!
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
This joy isn’t meant to be kept to ourselves—it’s meant to be shared. Whether it’s serving a nonprofit, giving a gift, or just being present with someone who feels forgotten— you can be the reason someone experiences the joy of Christ this season. Let’s be a light in Atlanta this Christmas and bring joy where it’s needed most.

This Christmas you can keep a child connected to their mom or dad behind bars. Let a local child know that they are not forgotten by being the bridge between the incarcerated parent and their family outside. Shop for a Christmas gift, deliver it to the child in person, with a personally written message from their mom or dad inside, and the gospel! Delivering this present is not about the gift, but about the parent’s presence in their family’s lives, and Jesus’s presence in the midst. Contact Julia Cook.
