About this Event
Stockings of Hope
A Christmas Brunch & Outreach Experience
Fill a Stocking. Share a Blessing. 🎄❤️
This Christmas, we’re coming together to celebrate the joy of giving!
Join NHCC First Fruits Singles Ministry for Stockings of Hope, a heartwarming morning of brunch, fellowship, creativity, and community service.
Together, we’ll decorate and fill Christmas stockings with practical essentials, non-perishable snacks, and handwritten words of encouragement for individuals experiencing homelessness and others in need.
Our completed stockings will support New Harvest Christian Center’s self-help shelf, helping us share kindness, dignity, and hope with our neighbors this holiday season.
What to Expect:
🥐 Brunch & Blessings — Enjoy a relaxed Christmas brunch, warm conversations, festive music, and meaningful fellowship.
🎄 Deck the Stockings — Get creative as we decorate Christmas stockings with cheerful, uplifting designs.
🎁 Fill a Stocking, Share a Blessing — Work together to assemble stockings filled with practical essentials and thoughtfully donated items.
💌 Words of Hope — Write gender-inclusive messages of kindness and encouragement to accompany each stocking.
❤️ Serving with Purpose — Experience the joy of giving back while connecting with fellow singles.
Stockings and decorating supplies are already provided. No need to purchase them unless you would like to.

Why We Gather
At First Fruits, we believe wholeness in Christ isn’t only about how we live—it’s also about how we love, connect, and serve.
This Christmas, we’re turning gratitude into action, one stocking at a time.
There’s a place for you at the table—and a blessing we can share with someone else.
WHOLE in Christ | Matthew 6:33
