• The first Christmas in August® was a project of the Sunbeam Band of the First Baptist Church of Charlottesville, Virginia.
The year: 1927!
In 1937 the gifts
were lost in the
mail. So, it was
decided to send
the gifts to
missionaries in
the US, instead.
Choose a missionary from the list provided by the North American Mission Board and WMU®.
(Visit namb.net/christmas for a complete list.)
Share the needs of the missionary with your church.
Collect the needed items throughout the month of August.
At the end of the month, sort and pack the gifts.
DO NOT WRAP THE GIFTS!
Send only the items requested.
Mail the boxes to the missionary.
Include a self-addressed, stamped postcard.
The missionary will return the card to let you know your gift was received.
