Dickens of a Christmas

It’s that time of year! On Tuesday, December 1, downtown Spartanburg comes alive for Dickens of a Christmas, and the First North Student Ministry will be right in the middle of it with a tent full of s’mores, a prayer table, and a lot of opportunities to share the love of Jesus with our neighbors.

Every year, hundreds of people from our community walk right past our tent. A warm s’more and a friendly face can open the door for a real conversation, a prayer, and a chance to share the gospel. It’s a simple way to show our city that First North cares about them.

How you can help

Donate supplies. We need boxes of graham crackers, regular-sized Hershey bars (no nuts, please), and bags of marshmallows. Collection bins will be in the Rock Atrium and at other spots around the church.

Sign up for a shift. We’ll be serving from 5:45 to 9:00 p.m. and are asking volunteers to sign up for one-hour shifts. You can greet people as they walk by, restock supplies, help guests fill out prayer cards, or simply pray with folks as they stop at the table. Anyone can serve, and no experience is needed.

When your shift is over, stay and enjoy the festivities Dickens of a Christmas has to offer.
