Avon Park Church Florida Conference Celebrate Christmas Through Children’s Toy Drive

Florida Conference began collecting toys at the beginning of November to aid in an annual toy drive. This year’s drive was held December 15, 2024, on the campus of Avon Park Church.

In addition to donated toys from church members and Conference office employees, the Pastoral Ministries Department donated money for the project, and the Children’s Ministries Department supported the program with many gift cards. More than 600 gifts to more than 500 children were distributed.

“We could not have done this without the help of individuals as well as department help,” said Juan Rodriguez, Florida Conference youth and young adult ministries director.

Avon Park Church gave diapers to more than 150 families. Rodney McFadden, associate pastor, reported more than 250 new family contacts made from the community. Several families have already come to worship with the Avon Park family.
