St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church is partnering with other
Wilmington area churches on a Magi Project.
They have rewritten the lyrics to The Twelve Days of
Christmas replacing the gifts with food items. On Christmas Eve
participating churches will pass out brown paper bags and invite people to
gather these food items over the 12 days of Christmas and bring them to worship
on Sunday, January 5th, the day we celebrate the Epiphany.
Churches who have their own food pantry are welcome to keep
the food. St. Stephen’s will collect other food and restock the shelves of the
LCS food pantry at St. Stephen’s.
We believe this is a meaningful spiritual exercise for the
season of Christmas – giving to those who hunger, spending less on ourselves
and more on those in need, marking the days of the Christmas season rather than
stopping with the 25th of December, learning more about this holy
day of Epiphany that is celebrated by so many Christian communities here in our
midst and around the world.
Here is how the song would go....On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me....
