It is a Knox tradition to celebrate Christmas in July by bringing gifts and toys to church for the Cross-Lines Christmas Toy Store that is held in December. Each year Knox provides families with the opportunity to select one toy/gift for each child age 0-17, a stuffed toy per child 0-12, several books per child, several stocking stuffers for children, and one board game per family. They provide these gifts to approximately 1200 children per year.

A Christmas tree will be up in the main hallway beginning July 4. Take an ornament or several and shop for the gift written on the ornament. Then bring the gifts/toys to church and place them in the Cross-Lines box near the Welcome Center.

Sunday, July 18, a special offering will be taken that will help purchase toys and gifts for the Christmas Store. Note in the memo section of your check that it is for the Toy Store. Monetary donations are always welcome for those who are unable to shop.
