Christmas in
August 2011
What It Is
Christmas in August tm is a program sponsored by WMU ® and
the North American Mission Board. It allows members of WMU
organizations to participate in the work of North American
missionaries by supplying them with items needed in large
quantities in their ministries.
How You Can Participate
Listed here are the North American missionaries Acteens ® can help
through Christmas in August this year. Beneath each name is a list
of items the missionary needs. If you want to participate, you may
send several of the same item, a few of the items, or some of all of
the items. You may select one missionary or more than one.
Packaging and Mailing Your Items
Please package your items carefully. Before you seal the box for
mailing, include a postcard on which you have written the name
and address of your church and the names of all who participated.
The missionaries would like to know who you are!
Note any particular packaging needs any missionary might
mention. If you send your package by regular US mail, be sure to
have the package weighed at the post office and have the proper
postage affixed. (You don’t want the missionary to have to pay
postage-due charges on your gift!)
If you send the package by United Parcel Service (UPS), please use
the physical street address. UPS will not deliver to a post office box.
