CHRISTMAS CHAPEL We invite you to join us for our Christmas chapel. Robin’s Nest is participating in a toy drive for a local charity. Please help your child choose a toy gift to bring to the sanctuary and place on the stage. The gift should be new, in the range of $5 – $10 and for a preschool aged child. Please do not wrap the gift. This is a great opportunity to help teach your children the joy of giving.
