NMI Christmas Memory & Honor Tree Ornaments
THE NMI Council has purchased special ornaments to decorate the Memory and Honor Christmas Tree that will be in the foyer. This is a special time to remember friends, family & loved ones who are no longer with us this Christmas Season.
The name of your loved one will be placed on the ornament & hung on the tree throughout the Christmas Season. Following Christmas, your memorial/honor ornament will be returned to you as your own personal keepsake for Christmas 2023. There are 96 ornaments available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Ornaments will be available for a donation of $5.00, with donations going to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Global Fund.
With your support of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, hungry families are gaining access to food. The sick are experiencing healing. Parents are able to provide for their children with dignity. The persecuted are finding safety. Clean water is dramatically decreasing the spread of disease. And people are discovering the love of Christ.
It’s sometimes hard to predict how to best meet specific needs as they arise. Disasters strike without warning. Economies crash. Illness can sweep through an area and devastate communities. It is essential for local churches to be prepared and equipped to act quickly. Your gift of compassion will help churches respond to the greatest needs in their communities when & where urgent needs arise.
You may order your ornaments in the foyer. Payment can be marked “Ornament” and dropped in the Offering Box.
