6 Arlington News and Events contd. White Christmas at Arlington Dreaming of a White Christmas.. but not the snow kind. The White Christmas that helps others. Oh, yes. We do this by bringing baby gifts wrapped in all white to be taken to the Your Choice Resource Center. These gifts will go to help reach others for Christ. Some mother will receive items to help when her baby is born, some tiny baby will be cared for with these items. So bring your baby gifts, wrapped in white, to the Sunday morning service on Dec. 2nd, and participate in a White Christmas unrelated to weather. This is a wonderful way to start the Christmas Season, have a warm,warm feeling of helping others all year long, and share Christ with the unsaved.
