COVID can’t stop us from celebrating the birth of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. We’re going to make Christmas 2020 beautiful, joyful, and perhaps even the best Christmas ever. It will be a powerful symbol for all to see of the hope we have in Jesus Christ, ​because we refuse to let fear destroy our joy.

CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

Message Series​

​
Christmas is a season of gifts.
We buy and wrap presents and wait eagerly until our loved ones open them on Christmas morning. No matter the age, we enjoy the wonderment of children as they wait for Santa Claus.

Holiday bells, candles, stars, wreaths, Christmas trees, the creche, mistletoe, and all the familiar symbols of the holiday season remind us at this time of year of the many gifts that come down from heaven above, especially the one perfect gift that came on Christmas morning two thousand years ago. Join us this Advent for a new message series on the Gifts of Christmas. ​

​GIVE A GIFT 

Give Today

For the past 20 years, The Saint Hilary Giving Tree has been annually providing
Christmas gifts to over 250 Marin City and Hillarita children that need a little extra love from their neighbors.

This year due to COVID, we are still providing presents but in lieu of taking a star from the tree, we are asking for online donations instead. 

Each $50 donation will provide to one child: 

• A gift bag containing a Target gift card; 
• Ornaments; and 
• Cookies to be decorated at home

Feel free to sponsor more than one child. Your generosity gives a sparkle to the Christmas season for many!

Gift bags will be distributed to the children and their families via a festive carline on Friday, December 11, 2020.
