Join us for a beautiful evening of music, community, and Christmas joy at our annual TWCC Christmas Concert at the Olive campus. This night is designed for the whole family—filled with celebration, warmth, and the story of Jesus shared through powerful music and a welcoming atmosphere.
We’re also partnering together to bless families in our city. We invite you to bring an unwrapped gift to support local organizations that serve children and families in need. Your generosity will help make Christmas brighter for someone right here in our community. Gifts in the $20–$40 range are ideal, but all donations are welcome. Those who bring an unwrapped gift on the night of the concert will be entered in a drawing to win dinner for two with Bishop Coleman and Deidre. Must be present to win.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord.” — Proverbs 19:17
Following the concert, enjoy a dessert reception, warm beverages, and fellowship as we celebrate the hope of the season together. Doors open at 6:30 and the concert begins at 7:00 pm.
Below is a simple guide to help you choose age-appropriate items.
Great gifts for our youngest children include board books, stacking toys, shape sorters, plush animals, musical toys, push or pull toys, bath toys, simple puzzles, teething toys, and building blocks. These developmental toys help engage their senses and support early learning.
For preschool-aged children, consider pretend play sets (like kitchen, doctor, or tool kits), coloring supplies, simple puzzles, small dolls or action figures, wooden trains and cars, Play-Doh sets, beginner board games, and picture books. These encourage imagination and creative play.
Kids in this age range enjoy craft kits (bracelet making, painting, slime), building sets like Legos, sports balls, remote-control cars, dolls or action figures, chapter books, beginner STEM kits, and classic board games. Hands-on activities are especially popular.
Popular gifts for pre-teens include advanced craft kits (like sewing or detailed art sets), Lego/Technic sets, coding or STEM kits, puzzles, sports equipment, earbuds, small Bluetooth speakers, journals, pens, chapter book series, and strategy board games. These encourage creativity and independence.
Teens appreciate sketchbooks and art supplies, sports gear, card or board games, self-care or hygiene sets, light perfume or cologne, tote bags or backpacks, journals and planners, earbuds or small speakers, and gift cards ($10–$25) to stores or food spots. These help meet both practical needs and personal interests.
We also welcome cozy blankets, fuzzy socks, reusable water bottles, craft sets, puzzles, holiday books, age-appropriate devotionals, fun snacks, and winter accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves. These are great options when you’re not sure which age to shop for.
Tips for Families: How to Participate Together in the Christmas Gift Drive
Set aside a special day for the whole family to shop together. Let each child pick an item, and allow parents to choose something too. Turn it into a fun, memory-making tradition.
Pick an age group that feels meaningful—maybe a child the same age as one of your kids. Talk together about what that child might love, and brainstorm gift ideas as a team.
Around the dinner table, talk about why your family gives: to show God’s love, bless others, and share joy. Ask each family member what generosity means to them.
Decide together how much your family can spend. If possible, allow each child to contribute a small amount from their allowance or savings. This reinforces shared responsibility.
Before dropping off the donation, gather as a family to pray. Ask God to bless the child, bring joy to their home, and let them feel His love this Christmas.
Families can create a simple “Merry Christmas” card or drawing. Even though gifts must remain unwrapped, a homemade note adds a personal, heartfelt touch.
On the drive to the store or dinner that night, talk about how some families face challenges during the holidays. Use language appropriate to your kids’ ages and focus on kindness and hope.
If the church needs volunteers to sort or organize gifts, let older kids or teens help alongside you. Serving together creates unity and teaches teamwork and generosity.
After you drop off your gift, snap a family photo or share a fun “We gave today!” moment. Enjoy a hot chocolate or dessert afterward to mark the occasion.
The goal isn’t picking the “perfect” gift—it’s creating a shared experience of generosity as a family. Celebrate every effort, big or small.
