About This Mission
Each July, Gravel Hill Church partners with the Lebanon Rescue Mission to help prepare for Agape Christmas, a special outreach that brings hope and encouragement to seniors in our community during the Christmas season.
Throughout the month, we collect items from a wish list that will be packed into more than 700 Christmas gift bags. In December, these bags are delivered to seniors living in Lebanon Housing Authority and Community Homes of Lebanon County senior communities. For many residents, these gifts are more than practical items—they are a reminder that they are seen, loved, and remembered.
You can participate by picking up a wish list tag in the Grace Space, purchasing the requested item, and placing it in the collection bin. Every donation helps share the love of Christ and brings joy to a neighbor this Christmas.
Together, we can make the season a little brighter for hundreds of seniors in our community.
