The 109’s University Christian Church is hosting several events during the advent season.
The advent season is the first season of the Christian church year that leads up to Christmas and includes four Sundays after.
Thirteen separate events will be held including: the Christmas Angels Wrap Night, Finals Feast and Annual Boar’s Head & Yule Log Festival.
Christmas Angels Wrap Night
Christmas Angels Wrap Night is a UCC outreach ministry that benefits 500 economically disadvantaged children in the community each year, Poling said.
This year, it will be held on Dec. 11 at 5:30 p.m. in Walker Hall.
For $80, people can purchase a brown bag that will be donated to a child. Each bag is filled with a new coat, sweatshirt, jeans, shoes, socks, underwear, an outdoor toy and a book, Poling said.
The children are all school-aged and are found through the school system, Poling said.
