Our Angel Tree Christmas festival is over, but the treasures of Jesus Christ has just begun. This week, the Children's Ministry of Carmel Presbyterian Church hosted the families of our greater community suffering the absence of a missing parent this Christmas, with a joyous event celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ and the promise of an everlasting relation with Him in His Kingdom to come that will have no end


HIGHLIGHTS. The Holy Spirit was evident from the first to the last

Families flocked to the Church by bus, car, van, and on foot

The classic Pacific Monarch bus arrived filled with families from our neighborhood many of whom never had traveled so regally or who had ever visited our beloved Carmel.

Lines of welcoming CPC families greeted our guests as they descended the bus with a police escort through the bustle of Carmel's shopping season

More than 250 participants unabashedly expressed their love for Jesus and to one another. Pastor Greg, in Spirit, rained God's love down equally to one and all

Our children recited God's word with strength and conviction

The thunder of Christian hymns sung by families echoed the halls as we melted together proving that the colors of black, brown, yellow, and white turn to gold

Tons of pizza, cookies, fruit, lemonade and ice cream disappeared in record time.No child or family was left behind


Equally tasteful and needy gifts were thoughtfully and generously distributed by our host families to our own and Angel Tree children

Evolving friendships were rooted with pledges of continued relations throughout the year

The bus ride home was filled with chatter of the joy of new beginnings
