A “Most Wonderful Time”
The HOLIDAY SEASON has arrived at Mission Arlington.® This truly is, as Andy Williams used to sing, “the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!” Before we know it, Christmas will be here too, and 2021 will be behind us.
Reasons for Thanksgiving
It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is behind us. In the midst of spending time with your own families, and everything else that happens, you made sure that other people beside your own family could celebrate Thanksgiving too. Because of your faithfulness and generosity, we were able to deliver food to more families than ever before – 6,221 of them, representing more than 25 thousand people (25,596). You simply amaze us, and you always have. Thank you!
As we turn the corner into the Christmas Season, here’s what’s ahead at Mission Arlington.®
Christmas at Mission Arlington®
Dates and Times: Our free Christmas Store will open from December 11th – 22nd (excluding Sundays) between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day. The store will also be open on December 23rd, from 10:00 a.m. until noon.
Christmas Gifts Needed: You can help by bringing Christmas gifts to us – for children of all ages. For more information about the need, click this LINK. To use Amazon’s Wish List, click HERE;
Volunteering: Christmas volunteers are needed anytime the store is open. Stockers (working with toys), shopper helpers (helping parents find gifts for their kids), childcare, and gift-wrap, are all part of the need. To volunteer, just show up, and we’ll put you to work. If you want to bring a team with you, contact us at 817-277-6620, and we’ll get you set up.
Yes, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around Mission Arlington.®
We can’t wait!

Meet Our Summer Missionaries – Margaret

Our summer missionaries listen and pray with people in our front room, organize and distribute food in our food pantry, serve in our clothing store, carport, and furniture area, participate in summer programs with children and youth, and join in with many of the Bible studies and congregations of Mission Arlington®. We are so thankful for their heart for the Lord and willingness to serve in this way.
