Bringing SANTA CLAUS to Children and Families
Dedicated to Keeping Christ in Christmas
 |
|
Santa's Overland Express is a mobile Santa Claus shop that has been in operation for more than six years.
This ministry is dedicated to keeping CHRIST in Christmas by bringing Santa to children (more accessible to families) with the option of Santa Claus photos throughout our regional area. We also give out bookmarks and craft projects to the young and old.
Our Santa Claus is dressed up in an old European Santa uniform and is presented in a mobile, high impact, child size, red unit with black and white checkered floors with a magic carpet, and pictures of reindeer on the wall. Santa shows the kids the key to the Reindeer Barn and a special key that opens doors where there is no fireplace. The Manger Scene is populated by Teddy Bears.
We take our services to strip malls, business owners, municipalities, nonprofits, town halls, and parking lots, by contract.
Reserve our mobile services for a minimum of 4 hours and up. It's so much fun and rewarding for the community.
Contact SANTA to discuss charges and dates.
Upkeep and feeding of Reindeer, plus cost of toy manufacturing gets higher everyday! Would you like to have a Christmas Wedding, officiated by Santa Himself?
Bookings accepted for Monday-Saturday (daytime) and Sunday evening ceremonies. Contact Santa directly for more details.
Bringing Santa to the Children for Pictures or Just a
Special Visit! Santa can write to your child and commend good
behavior, Church attendance, study habits, and health issues. Remind Santa of info about each child, age (birthdate), interests/hobbies, race
and areas in which you wish Santa to address ($12.50 donation includes
postage). |

'Tis the
Reason for the Season: "Today in the town of David a savior has
been born to you; He is Christ the lord. This will be a sign to
you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a
manger"
(Gospel of Luke 2:11-12)
This is the verse spread across the rear door of our Santa mobile
as we share the Gospel on the way to share Santa.
Wishing you A very Merry Christmas!

Plainly stated: our goal is to keep
Christ in Christmas by our unique Santa ministry’s
approach of having Santa take the kids,
and their families, to the biblical center of Christmas.
He explains the birth of Jesus,
while showing them a Nativity populated with Boyd’s Bears.
He shares with his audience about
the three Kings bearing gifts and why we continue such a blessing.
He teaches folks that Christmas is the greatest charity assistance
for so many important ministries and social issues.
Wouldn’t you be privileged to
contribute to such a cause—just because you still believe in Santa? You can, and you can today, by sending your love offering to:
Santa’s Overland Express
Post Office Box 145
Irvington, VA 22480-0145
On
behalf of all those Santa will minister to each year, I want to personally Thank YOU.
