CHRISTMAS CRIB COLLECTION This year the Christmas Crib Offerings will be donated to Friends of the Holy Land. Their work is so important, now more than ever with the ongoing conflict in Gaza and southern Israel. FHL are providing on the ground support to civilians in need. Through their contacts on the ground, they are doing their best to react quickly to get immediate help to those sheltering in the Christian churches and buildings, largely in Gaza City. The money they have been able to send so far has helped the Christian committee coordinate the supply of water, food, basic medical supplies and other essentials where and when they are available. They don’t know how the challenges for Christians in the Holy Land may evolve, but they stand ready locally to provide relief where they can with your help.
