Steps to getting involved...

1. At Women Alive, DaySpring Church, there will be a Kids Christmas Express table for the next few weeks, with a card for each child marked with their age, gender and country. Choose the child you wish to purchase gifts for (eg, 2-5 yrs, Boy, India) We find choosing children similar to your own encourages your children to enthusiastically participate. Of course you are welcome to choose more than one child. We will collect your name, email address and contact phone number. 

2. Find a standard-size empty shoe box to fill with gifts. The standard size helps maintain consistency, and gifts that fit within the shoe box help with the packaging for shipping. We will be transferring the contents into bags especially decorated by our Kinder Church kids.

3. Go shopping! Check our 'Gift Suggestions' (see blog archive, August, on the left sidebar) for ideas. Have fun with it and involve your own children. It is a fabulous way for our younger ones to learn to think beyond themselves.

4. We are asking for a $10 donation per gift box to cover the costs of delivery. You may include $10 cash or a cheque made to Kids Christmas Express in an envelope attached to your gift box, or you may use the Credit Card/EFTPOS machine outside the DaySpring bookshop and attach the receipt to your gift box. (If you have chosen to give more than one box, you may make your Donation Payment in one transaction.) 

5. Bring your gift box back to Women Alive on one these collections dates: Sept 17th, October 1st, or October 22nd. You must also clearly label your gift box. Either attach your original card and filled-out Donation Form, or provide the following information: 

• Child's age, gender, country
• Your name
• Contact number and email address
• Number of boxes (if multiple boxes, please mark Box 1 of 4, Box 2 of 4, etc)
• Amount and Method of Donation Payment - total $ amount - cash, cheque, credit card

6. Please remember to pray for your child.

If you do not attend Women Alive and would like to be involved, you are more than welcome to join us in this project. Please email us at kidschristmasexpress [at] gmail [dot] com.
