MCCF Chaplaincy Christmas Gift Bag Program

The Morris County Correctional Facility (MCCF) Christmas Gift Bag Program is a heartfelt outreach initiative supported by our church community. This year, we invite you to join us in donating essential items to create gift bags for 350 individuals at the facility, helping to provide comfort and connection during the holiday season. By taking part in this program, we can embody the spirit of Christmas, sharing God’s love and reminding those in our community that they are not forgotten.

A Prayer for MCCF Inmates This Holiday Season

Heavenly Father,

As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the joy of Christmas, we lift up the individuals at the Morris County Correctional Facility. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround them during this holiday season. May our gifts serve as a reminder of Your love and grace, bringing warmth and hope to those who may feel alone.

We pray for their families, the Chaplain, and the Correction Officers, that they may experience Your presence and support. Help us to reflect Your compassion as we serve and uplift those in need.

In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
