Central’s Christmas Eve offering for 2024 is dedicated to the Alexander Inclusive Playground.
The Alexander playground is the community center in Albany, but it has not been a space for everyone. This Alexander Playground Project aims to create an inclusive playground for all. "It serves children during the school day but people of all ages on weeknights, weekends and summers. That’s why we believe the playground should be a space for everyone of all abilities. We hope you do, too." You may find more information on the Alexander Inclusive Playground Project here.
All money from this Christmas Eve offering will go towards creating the new playground, which will feature all kinds of play! Children and adults alike will be able to spin in the spinner accessible to wheelchairs and walkers. Friends will rock back and forth in the group glider and participate in imaginative play. People of all abilities will be able to use the dual monkey bars alongside each other. Music and activity panels will provide stimulation for those who want something different from motion. And children needing a break from the crowd can find rest in the shaded quiet space.
Join with us this season to help create this playground for all, so everyone has a chance to play with one another. You can give directly to this Christmas Eve offering HERE or in the black boxes during services. Please ensure those donations are labeled “Christmas Eve” or “Playground.”
