It is Love Tulsa Christmas time! We are expanding our efforts this year and with that comes more opportunity for you! Our desire as a church is to step into places of brokenness and vulnerability, not to be the hero of the story, but to empower those around us.

For Love Tulsa Christmas we want to stand in the gap and empower our neighbors by restoring dignity, meeting real needs, and reminding every person they are deeply loved.

This Christmas season, we would love for everyone to participate and we have 3 ways that you can do that!

1. Buy a Gift 
We are continuing our partnership with Marshall Elementary this year. We will be serving 60 kids and their families this year at Marshall. Each child will receive 2 gifts, one around $40 one $25.
- You can take a tag or two from the red tree in the lobby!

2. Serve at Love Tulsa Christmas event
You can also sign up to serve at the Marshall LT event on Wednesday, December 17th at Marshall Elementary.
At this event we create a night of family fun with a meal, and then we take the kids away for games and crafts and the parents get to shop for their kids. We wrap the gifts and hide them a way for the parents to give them for Christmas! 

This year we are also working in partnership with Prison Fellowship, 111 Project, & Care Portal to bring gifts to children with an incarcerated parent. We want these children to know that their parent in prison hasn't forgotten them and that there is a church nearby that loves them.

3. Buy and deliver a gift on behalf of an incarcerated parent
You can go to the Prison Fellowship tree in the lobby & talk to Amy Oettle to get your tag. You will work with Amy through Care Portal to coordinate with the family,  purchase and wrap the gift and deliver the gift to the family on behalf of the incarcerated parent.
We have committed to serve 20 families - one $25 gift per kid. 


Again, this season, we would love for everyone to participate in some way. Together through this Love Tulsa Christmas let's stand in the gap and empower families.
