Seafarers New York Christmas Program

2. Christmas At Sea

3. In 2013, 1,300 Christmas at Sea satchels were collected from
congregations for seafarers entering our ports from around the world.

4. You can start anytime to encourage your congregation
to begin assembling these gifts.

5. Gifts, like scarves and hats,
can be handmade
or purchased.

8. Satchels consist of a hooded sweatshirt, a T-shirt, a pair of white
socks, a wool cap, a can of peanuts and chocolate.

9. Churches can assemble any number of satchels – from 1 to 100.

10. A Christmas card is the
most appreciated gift of all.

12. Any support your
congregation can give
will help make a
difference for the lonely
seafarer who is far from
home for the
Christmas holidays.

14. Satchels are available at our display table now, or you can call
our office for a supply anytime between now and Dec. 15
