Help preserve our tradition of saying “Merry Christmas” by sponsoring
Project Merry Christmas in your church.

October 3, 2009

Dear Rick,

It’s hard to believe that there are companies and individuals who want
to ban “Merry Christmas” and replace it with “Holiday Greetings”
because, they say, they don’t want to offend anyone.

Christians can take a stand and proclaim to our communities that
Christmas is not just a winter holiday focused on materialism, but a
“holy day” when we celebrate the birth of our Savior. We can do it in
a gentle and effective way by wearing the “God’s Gift – Merry
Christmas” button.

You can help preserve our tradition of greeting others with a “Merry
Christmas” by taking a vital leadership role in AFA’s “Project Merry
Christmas.”

Here’s how. AFA is making available an attractive button and glossy
sticker that carry on our tradition of saying “God’s Gift – Merry
Christmas.”

AFA is asking individuals like you in thousands of communities across
the nation to head up this project in their local churches. Your
willingness to underwrite the cost for your church and
enthusiastically promote this project is the key to making an impact
in your area.

Order your pack of 10 buttons today, or, sponsor your entire church by
choosing a Large or Small Church Packet or the NEW Display Box of 250
buttons. And, we will include FREE SHIPPING on all Christmas buttons
and stickers.

Help preserve our tradition of saying “Merry Christmas” by sponsoring
Project Merry Christmas in your church.

Gosh and the war on Holloween hasn’t even started yet.
