Metro Ministries International–Christmas Stocking Project
Bill Wilson, founder of Metro Ministries International, challenges women's and girls' groups in the IPHC to participate in their annual Christmas stocking project. Metro Ministries International (an affiliate of the IPHC) touches an incredible number of children on a weekly basis through their Sunday School outreach. Approximately 6,000 children are brought in by bus every Saturday for one of three sessions geared toward ages 3-12. (Click on the Metro Ministries name on the first line to learn more about their ministry.) For many of these boys and girls, this stocking will be the only Christmas gift they receive.
Stockings are made out of felt–red for girls and green for boys. They are sewn together and filled with items such as butterfly clips, jewelry, jump ropes, Matchbox cars, small army figures, socks, watches, etc. A stocking pattern and list of ideas for filling it are available through the Women's Ministries office or by clicking on the link below. It is never too early to start shopping for Christmas since these stockings should be completed and on their way by early December.
