Miracle on Tyler Street scheduled for Saturday

Christmas is just a week and a half away. But one local church is giving Christmas to many families in need this weekend. Darlene Mays and Jenny Rhoades explain.

Miracle on Tyler Street will be Dec. 18th 2010, 6pm – 9pm.

Miracle on Tyler Street began in 2008 with a Christmas village and winter wonderland park setup in the Life Center parking lot at 301 S. Tyler and a food/gift giveaway for families and children of Midland. 

Food Baskets for 250 families will be handed out as well as bicycles, gift cards and toys. Santa will be on-hand to hear Christmas wishes and the evening will also include dinner and a variety of entertainment.

Greater Ideal Family Life Center, Greater Ideal Baptist Church, Stonegate Fellowship and many other churches and individuals are are working to put on the event.

The Greater Ideal Family Life Center is currently in its eighth year of operation.  Its purpose is to provide the citizens of Midland, primarily the southeast area, a facility and programs to improve the quality of life and educational opportunities. The Center is available without restrictions as to gender, race or religion.
