CHRISTMAS FOR THE KIDS OF KATRINA
As we begin this wonderful season of celebrating and giving, remember to pray for those who are working to help rebuild the lives of victims of natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. Please consider supporting our Christian Formation High School teens' effort to provide
CHRISTMAS FOR THE KIDS OF KATRINA (CKK) a project sponsored by the Diocese of Biloxi, Mississippi & several Gulf coast churches. Its goal is to brighten Christmas for the children of the Mississippi Gulf Coast by giving a Christmas gift to every child in need on the Coast. The target ages are infants through high school. The gifts should be new, not used. Suggested gifts are toys for the younger children and gift certificates from local stores and/or national stores such as Wal-Mart, Sears or Penny's. Gifts should be wrapped with a label attached indicating boy or girl & the age range. Bring your gift to the box at the front of the church by December 11, so gifts can be shipped in time for Christmas. Cash donations will help provide shipping expenses. Envelopes are available at the doors of the church, and can be put in the collection basket. Please make checks payable to St. Malachi Church, with “Kids of Katrina” on the Memo line.
