 a work of the greater church, coordinated by Christ Chapel  

December 12 | 9:30 am
Christ Chapel | 160 Graham Road (Meeting place)

The Finger Lakes Residential Center (FLRC) is a facility of the NYS Office of Correctional Services in South Lansing, NY, housing around 70 juvenile inmates from ages 11 to 18 from all over New York State.
 You are invited to join Christ Chapel in showing them, on the occasion of Christ’s birth, that they are remembered and loved by Jesus and His Church. 
Come be a part of giving these kids a special Christmas, most likely their only one this year! 

The Plan:
  • Shop ahead ONLY from the printable list linked above. There are prohibited items to be aware of.
  • The FLRC staff will vet our shopping
  • Join others at Christ Chapel (address above) for a wrapping party! Every donated gift will be wrapped.
  • If you have scissors you can bring to the wrapping party, that will be a great help. Children who can assist with wrapping are welcome!

Want to participate but can't join on December 13?
Contact pastor Steve Felker to arrange to drop off items.
