DESCRIPTION:On Christmas Eve\, the church gives its offering away.\nAt both
  candlelight services on Thursday\, December 24\, McPherson First receives
  the Candlelight Christmas Eve Offering. Every undesignated gift in the pl
 ate that night goes to Neighbor Assistance and back out into McPherson. On
 e hundred percent.\nNeighbor Assistance divides evenly. Half stocks the ch
 urch food pantry\, which feeds McPherson families week after week. Half be
 comes direct assistance\, the fund the church draws on when a neighbor com
 es to the door with an eviction notice\, a shut-off notice\, or a month th
 at did not stretch.\nOne note for members: if you plan to fulfill your 202
 6 giving commitment on Christmas Eve\, mark your check or envelope Ministr
 y and the office will credit it exactly as you intended. Anything not mark
 ed goes to Neighbor Assistance. If you give online\, choose the Neighbor A
 ssistance fund.\nCandlelight worship happens at 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM in th
 e sanctuary at 1200 E Kansas Ave. Come sing\, hear the story again\, hold 
 a candle\, and send the whole offering out the door to your neighbors. All
  are welcome.
