Christmas in Philippi Gifts

Share the Joy of Christmas in Philippi! 🎄❤️

Pender United Methodist Church invites you to help make Christmas special for children and families in Philippi, West Virginia.

This Christmas, we want to bless local families by providing Christmas gifts for their children—and we need your help!

🎄 What Will Happen in Philippi?

Pender volunteers will arrive in Philippi on Friday afternoon, November 20, to prepare People’s Chapel to welcome local families.

Friday evening, families will gather for fellowship, prayer, gift wrapping, and sweet treats! This will be a wonderful opportunity for our Pender team to connect with the community, build relationships, and share Christ’s love.

At the end of the evening, Philippi and Pender UMC volunteers will come together to share smiles, stories from the day, and hugs.

Praise God for this beautiful opportunity to share His love!

❤️ Would You Like to Join Us?

We welcome anyone who would like to travel to Philippi with the team and help make this special evening possible!

To volunteer, please speak with Jane McKee or leave a message for Vicki in Pender’s main office at 703-278-8023.

🎁 Gift Reminder

Please place all UNWRAPPED gifts, with their gift cards attached, under the gifts tree by Sunday, November 15, 2026, so everything can be packed and ready for the trip.

Together, we can share Christ’s love, bring hope to families, and make Christmas brighter for children in Philippi.

Thank you for helping Pender UMC spread Christmas joy!
