DESCRIPTION:It is a First UMC tradition. On Wednesday\, December 9\, the yo
 uth group takes on The Great Christmas Dash\, an evening of carts\, lists\
 , and a whole lot of moving fast through Walmart to buy Christmas gifts fo
 r families in our community.\nEach year the youth group adopts families th
 rough StepMC. Students do all the shopping and all the wrapping\, which me
 ans they spend a December evening thinking about someone else’s Christma
 s morning. Meet at the church at 6:00 PM and we will be back by 8:00 PM.\n
 Any 6th through 12th grader is welcome\, whether you have been at youth gr
 oup all fall or this is your first Wednesday. Bring a friend along. There 
 is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay.\nThe gifts are funded throug
 h our Ministry Funding Plan\, the same offering that supports every other 
 ministry here. When you give to our regular offering\, you fill those cart
 s. Hold these families in your prayers as you give this Christmas.\nQuesti
 ons about the evening? Contact Sarah Hendricks at sarah.hendricks@mcpherso
 nfirst.org or call the church office at 620-241-3626.
