Christmas At Sea

In 2013, 1,300 Christmas at Sea satchels were collected from congregations for seafarers entering our ports from around the world.

You can start anytime to encourage your congregationto begin assembling these gifts.

Gifts, like scarves and hats, can be handmade

or purchased.

Satchels consist of a hooded sweatshirt, a T-shirt, a pair of white socks, a wool cap, a can of peanuts and chocolate.

Churches can assemble any number of satchels – from 1 to 100.

A Christmas card is the most appreciated gift of all.

Any support your congregation can give

will help make a difference for the lonely seafarer who is far from

home for the Christmas holidays.

Satchels are available at our display table now, or you can callour office for a supply anytime between now and Dec. 15
