An Evening of Holiday Music with Daniel Christian
St. Mark’s United Methodist Church (84th & Pioneers) in Lincoln NE invites you to an evening of holiday music featuring Daniel Christian!. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas with a warm cup of hot cocoa or hot apple cider in the Upper Fellowship Hall, get your photo taken with Santa, do some holiday shopping in the new church bookstore, and listen in on the Advent Class, “Obscure Characters in the Christmas Story,” presented by head pastor, Wayne Alloway.
Wed Dec 8, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., Daniel Christian will perform a concert of songs for the holiday season, including a few unique selections, and many popular Christmas favorites.
The Spirit of Giving
The Spirit of Giving
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Ramadan, Kwanza and New Year’s Day are annual holidays that can prove difficult for people who have experienced the death of someone significant. Holidays can be some of the roughest terrain we navigate after a death loss. When a parent or primary caregiver has died, how does a child find the means to purchase and wrap a gift for their surviving caregiver? Many of the youth at Mourning Hope want to put a smile on their loved one’s face, and celebrating the spirit of giving brings the child great joy.
For the second year in a row, First-Plymouth Church is teaming up with Mourning Hope this holiday season to support children in this gift-giving endeavor. Shopping for their caregiver is a rewarding and emotionally satisfying part of the holiday season, and children who have experienced the death of a caregiver and have attended a Mourning Hope grief support program are invited to participate in a special event designed just for them.
Kids will have time to select and wrap a gift for their caregiver, and participate in a craft project. While the kids are shopping, some tips and helpful information about how to care for oneself while navigating the stresses of the holiday season will be offered to caregivers.
There is no cost to participate in this event thanks to the generosity of First-Plymouth Church. But in order to ensure an adequate number of gifts, craft projects and snacks, families must register by December 1, 2021.
There will be two time blocks available, each with limited space. Families are encouraged to register early.
The Spirit of Giving is appropriate for school-aged children and teens (kindergarten through high school seniors) who have attended a support group at Mourning Hope.
Eligible families will receive an invitation via email which will include the registration link.

We perform at conferences, concerts, charitable events, and many more for many groups, including persons with disabilities, seniors, and youth. Our combined experience includes performance in the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, Africa, and the Caribbean. We seek to impact all generations for God and for good; promoting equity and reaffirming that every human being is unique and of value.
Join us for an hour of music as we celebrate the Christmas season with a live band and vocalists, raising funds to support the initiatives of the Wellness Shelter (Greenwich, London, UK)!
The Wellness Shelter’s continued mission is to spur individuals towards a purposeful healing journey through coaching, mental health care, bereavement counselling, and more. Guests are diverse, including students, foster carers, and adults in crisis. The facility is also provided as a respite for Missionaries.
The pandemic has been a very trying time for many. During this season of distress, and, for some, depression and isolation, many are in dire need of the services the Wellness Shelter provides. Voices Rise has partnered with the Wellness Shelter to raise funds for the resources necessary to aid those in need.
This is a virtual event live-streaming on Dec 11 2021 3 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. GMT and is suitable for all ages!
