Christmas Outdoor Live Walk-Through Nativity on Dec. 20 & 24

/

We are inviting families and friends to join at the outdoor Live walk-through Nativity this year. The pandemic may have changed how we celebrate Christmas this year; however, the story of Christmas continues. In light of a children's book titled "Refuge" by Anne Booth and Sam Usher, we would dive into the story of Christmas in support of the refugee crisis in the world.

Date & Time: Dec. 20 (2-4pm) & Dec. 24 (2-3pm)

Where: Pound Ridge Community Church lawn & parking lot (Please park your car at the Pound Ridge Elementary School parking lot).

How does it work?: Once you park your car at the elementary school, you will need to walk up to the church parking lot. There will be signs for you to follow up to the information booth. At the information booth, you will learn:
1 ) How follow the story
2) How to play scavenger hunt
3) Donation Box for our refugee neighbors

There is an opportunity for you to support this cause, and all the proceedings will help the Westchester Refugee Initiative spearheaded by Hearts & Homes for Refugees.

To donate through Pound Ridge Community Church, you can donate on the dates of events, mail to our church office, or click here for online giving.

Christmas Giving Tree 2020 for Boys & Girls Village

Thanks to the generosity of PRCC donors, we were able to bless a local foster home last year with dozens of toys, clothing, diapers and gift cards. This year, we've decided that due to COVID-19 restrictions we will hold our Giving Tree fundraiser online. Please donate on the church website and click the dropdown box that says "Giving Tree." If you prefer to send a check or place cash in this Sunday's offering, mark your donation with the words "Giving Tree." We will be accepting donations now through Sunday, Dec. 13th.

“Boys & Girls Village, a nonprofit that connects foster children and teens with foster parents. There are over 200 children and youth in the program right now who need someone to open their heart and home by providing a loving, temporary home until their parents can get the help they need after being separated from their children due to alcohol, drug abuse or other factors.” Click here for more information
