Last Minute Gift

Last minute Christmas gift to keep your children busy during the Christmas break while supporting the Branch Lutheran Schools in Haiti!!

Highlight the real Christmas story with a ‘Star from Afar’ activity box that includes a hide and seek game, various crafts, and most importantly the story of our Savior’s birth.

Every day from December 25 through January 6, your child will enjoy a craft activity with a corresponding poem about the events of the real Christmas story. Before he/she receives the activity for the day, the child must find the star they have decorated (included) that you have hidden the night before.

Your child’s gift will also be a gift for the children in Haiti as all proceeds from the sales with be sent to Branch Lutheran Schools in Haiti.

One box will:

• Feed 20 children
• Pay for meals for 20 children
• Bring joy to your favorite child or share the Gospel in this unique way with a child who may not know Jesus and support God’s little lambs in Haiti.
