New Hope Christmas Store
The Christmas Store at New Hope Church and Community Center this past winter brought 57 families through our doors. Due to gracious donations from Zion Lutheran Dallas, Crown of Life Colleyville, and various individual donors, we had a wide assortment of gifts for parents to choose from. Families from the local elementary school were invited to come to New Hope and buy new toys at reduced prices.
We believe by letting the parents purchase the gifts themselves, it dignifies them knowing they provided for their children and allows them to see the surprise and joy on their children’s faces as they open a gift bought specifically for them. The Christmas Store also allowed us to work side by side with parents from the neighborhood as well as new families we’ve invited to join us for Family Night. A couple of families, who are now regulars at Family Night, met us for the first time at the Christmas Store.
