Youth for Christ Celebrates Christmas

Several of the ministries at Central Maryland are doing things to celebrate Christmas this year.

Campus Life Monocacy:

Bowling for Blankets is happening on December 11. This is an event where students raise money by bowling in order to buy blankets for the homeless during the cold winter.

Family Christmas Event on December 18. This is an opportunity to reach out to the families of Campus Life Students. The students have been working on making presents over the last few months to give to their family this night.

Middletown Campus Life:

Middletown Valley People Helping People. Students will "adopt" a local needy family during the holiday season by providing gifts for kids and a giftcard to buy groceries.

The mentoring group will be meeting on December 14 for their Christmas party. They will be making beaded jewelry for Christmas gifts and play some games. The children will be decorating ginger bread cookies.

They will also be looking into volunteering at rescue shelters and serving.

Catoctin Area:

Will hold the First Sunday Worship service on December 7. This month, the program will have Christmas themed speakers and music.

LAND WANTED

We are looking for Land

We see a need for a place where we could minister to young people. If we had land and a building we might be able to accomplish some additional ministry goals.

Plans for Ministry Center

Ideally we would like to construct a building with a gym, a counseling room, office and classrooms and have enough land for a few soccer and baseball playing fields. If you are interested in donating acreage within 5 +/- miles of Frederick, please call us if you can help out. {See contact page}

We would like to thank and recognize each board member for their committment to Youth For Christ.
