PUCC Christmas Cs:
Creches, Cookies, Caretakers, Carols, Candles, Candy Canes.
Please participate as much or as little as you are able, comfortable, interested…
This can be done via drop-off, drive-thru or door service at your home beginning the middle of this week.
If you are interested in coming to church for drop-offs, in order to be safe, you must signup for an individual time slot and wear a mask. Please stay within the 30 minutes you choose so as not to overlap with others https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0D4CA4AC23AB9-pucc2 We will add more spots if needed.
If you prefer drive-thru or door service at your homes, please let us know via kevin@parkwayucc.org so we can coordinate a time with you.
There’s a lot here, so please contact me if you have questions – kevin@parkwayucc.org; 314-330-0629.
Also, let us know if you would like to be an elf that helps make all of this go smoothly!
Creches
Drop off a creche to share with the congregation in a 30 minute time slot between December 9-11.
Tables are set up around the sanctuary for you to display any number of creches.
No one will touch them but will enjoy them with their eyes and spirit.
There are note cards (and tape) for you to affix to the table in front of your nativity set(s) with your name.
Sign up to come have a private viewing of the creches for an hour time slot between December 12-14.
Cookies
Drop off two dozen cookies in recyclable containers to the kitchen freezer between December 9-11. Please sign up.
We will make a variety of THANK YOU plates to deliver to first responders and front-line workers.
Caretakers
We also want to give the gift of beauty and gratitude to others this season. Please consider dropping off fresh cut flowers or small poinsettias in the Gathering Space on the tables (water buckets for flowers) between December 9-11. Please sign up.
We will divide them up and deliver to beloved community members like teachers, grocery store clerks, librarians, gas station attendants, etc
Carols
Please video yourself singing, playing, humming, drumming, spooning a verse or two of a favorite Christmas Carol or Song. We would like to create a virtual ‘Christmas Carol’ video to share with our shut-ins and others. Send to kevin@parkwayucc.org or text to 314-330-0629.
Candles
Pick-up your PUCC Christmas Eve Candle(s). We would LOVE for you to send us a photo or brief video of you holding a lit candle - reminiscent of our Silent Night tradition on Christmas Eve. You can take a selfie if you are here doing a drop-off. (If you need a masked photographer/videographer, please let us know.) Send to kevin@parkwayucc.org or text to 314-330-0629.
Candy Canes and other Complimentary Gifts
We have candy canes, the Christmas Eve candles, a wonderful CD of 4 stories told by our own Perrin Stifel, and other treats available as a holiday gift for you. They are on tables in the entryway, kitchen, Gathering Space and sanctuary beginning December 9. Please sign up. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0D4CA4AC23AB9-pucc2 We will add more slots if needed.
If you are interested in participating in more than one of these opportunities that requires drop-off, drive-thru or door service, please coordinate so you are out and about as few times as possible by signing up for one drop-off time.
You may want to bring non-perishable food items and/or personal care items to donate at the same time – our collection table is in the front entryway.
ADVENT and CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS TO YOU!
Be hope, peace, joy and love for others – the greatest gifts!
