I lift up my eyes to you,
to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

Lifting our eyes to the Lord is an act of humble dependence, constant watchfulness, and trust in God’s mercy.
John Wesley

TMCLCS supporters - we are excited to announce some important information and dates for our Christmas program. Long post warning! Please read to the end.
General Donations - if you would like to participate in any of the following activities but would rather donate funds, a donation for any part is welcomed. Want to sponsor a child but can't shop? Donate and we will shop for you! Want to donate new toys, books or new clothes without sponsoring a child? Bring your items to us and we will distribute them!
Giving Tree - names of children needing sponsors for Christmas toys and clothes will be available on November 25, 2026. If you would like to sponsor a child, please send a Facebook Messenger message to our page listing the number of children you are sponsoring. We will have families with multiple children.
Senior Gift - if you would like to sponsor a Senior gift, we need those items by December 1, 2026. This year's gift theme is bath and body. Core items are: full size bottle of body lotion, full size bottle of shower gel (for both men and women), Chap-stick brand lip balm, a bath pouf scrubby, emery boards and washcloths. You may include other items but these are the core items. If you want to put them in gift bags that's perfectly acceptable! We already have puzzle books and ink pens to add in. We are planning for 30 Seniors.
Bagging of food items - on the morning of Saturday, December 12, 2026, at 9am, we will need volunteers to help pack a number of food bags. Volunteers should be at the gymnasium of Cross Lanes United Methodist Church, on the back end, slightly before 9am.
Present wrapping - this activity will begin at 9am on Saturday, December 12, 2026. Meet inside the gym of Cross Lanes United Methodist Church at the front part where the tables are set up. Please be at the gym before 9am so instructions can be given to all at once. Bring your own scissors! Paper, tape, and extra gifts provided. We will have some boxes, and ribbons and bows. We do not use bags - kids get wrapped gifts!
We will have an evening drop off date for Senior gift items and gifts for the kiddos. We will announce that later.
Our office hours for daytime drop offs are 11am to 230pm on Monday and Tuesday only. We are located in the basement of Cross Lanes United Methodist Church. Drive past the front doors and down a small hill and the doors are under the canopy.
