The Christmas story is a story of love, hope, redemption and relationship. So, what happened? How did it turn into stuff, stress and debt? Somehow, we’ve traded the best story in the world for the story of what’s on sale. Lets conspire to change the way we celebrate Christmas by spending less, giving more, loving all, and worshipping fully!
This year, The Anchor invites you to celebrate Christmas differently. Instead of spending more on gifts that people don’t need-consider making your own gifts or spending less and then use the money you saved for things that really matter. Here is how you can give at The Anchor this year:
- Help reduce our debt owed for replacing Anchor’s Roof
- Donate money towards helping cover the cost of purchasing TEN Helping Babies Breathe Programs. These programs teach midwives in third world countries who to save the lives of babies born not breathing. Then, on Christmas Day, bring baby hats and blankets as an offering. They will be donated alongside the training programs to clinics throughout Africa.
Help pack food donations for families in need this Christmas!
Food Needed:
Donations Needed:
-Canned Sweet Potatoes
-Gravy
-Rice
-Canned tuna/meat
-Coffee
-Tea
Packing begins at 10am at the Wrightstown Food Cupboard.
See you there!
Christmas is filled with promises–promised gifts, promised gatherings, promised good times. That makes sense since on the first Christmas God kept a great promise. He promised to help us find our way back home to Him. At the heart of Christmas is a Father who loved us so much He sent His Son Jesus to free us from our past and give us hope for the future. This Christmas at The Anchor, discover that God’s Promise is waiting for you.
Christmas Eve Worship-7pm (Blended worship style with candlelight)

GriefShare is a 13-week long support group for those who have lost loved ones. Each week, a video seminar is shared for the beginning of our meeting that features some of the nation’s foremost Christian experts on grief and recovery topics as seen from a biblical perspective.
The video seminars are combined with support group discussion of the materials presented during the video.
Join a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. We are here to help.
Beginning on January 16, sessions will be every Monday, 7-9pm, in the Conference Room through April 10.
Hosted by Lynne Sabutis and Cheryl Stitzenger of Hope and Grace Counseling,
