Falkner Farm Christmas Party

Falkner Farm Christmas Party

Sunday, December 10, 2017, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Location: 35100 SR 64 East, Myakka City, FL 34251

You’re invited to share the joy of Christmas with the families of Falkner Farm at our annual Christmas Party at the farm! For over 10 years, Harvest has celebrated Christmas with families at Falkner, a local farming business that houses and employs migrant workers who labor hard to bring food to our tables. The people of Harvest and families of Falkner Farm will spend time together at the party enjoying food, music, crafts and games.

The Missions Teams introduces a new format this year and invites even more volunteers than have served in the past.  By creating an area at the party for kids to “shop” for the adults in their family and parents to “shop” for their children, the team believes the party will be more relational and interactive. This may be the first time that the kids have had an opportunity to “shop” for a Christmas gift for their parents. Volunteers are needed as gift wrappers, shopping escorts, crafters, card makers, game facilitators, and food servers. You do not need to speak Spanish, but your gift of language will be greatly appreciated if you do.

Beginning October 29, Angel Trees will be in the lobby with tags on them listing the gifts to buy. Tags will include gender and age for you to know what to buy. To keep the gift giving as fair as possible, we have selected items that are in the $20 price range.  Only buy the gifts listed on the tag, as other items will not be accepted. Of course, you are welcome to take as many tags as you wish!

You’re invited to stop by the Angel Trees to select gift tags and to visit Hospitality Hub 1 to sign up to volunteer at the party.  You can also donate funds to help support the meal and activities for the party. Give online (select Falkner Farm) or place your gifts in our offering boxes during worship and write “Falkner” in the memo line.

Through your gifts and participation, you can help bring joy to the children and families of Falkner Farm.
