CONFIDENTIAL: The Winter HQ of the Michigan Tinker Elves

We have a confession to make.

For most of the year, The Old Church with the Purple Door is a place for community, conversation, and connection. But when the frost hits the windows, we officially activate our secondary protocol.

We are the Winter Headquarters for the Michigan Chapter of the Traveling Tinker Elves.

Yes, The Kilted Santa Project is back. And for the second year, the elves have set up shop right here in the sanctuary. Their mission? To make sure that when a child wakes up on Christmas morning, they don't see the "shadows of lack" or the stress of the grown-up world. They see only magic.

But even Tinker Elves need raw materials.

The "Elf Code" of the Purple Door: We have a strict rule at HQ: No Dogma, Just Magic. Every gift that leaves this building is tagged straight from Santa’s Workshop, signed by an Elf. No church labels. No strings attached. Just pure North Pole logic.

🛠️ Mission Objectives (How You Can Help):

1. The "Covert" Drop-Off: We have placed a Donation Box on the Front Porch. You can drop off new, unwrapped toys there 24/7. (If you see a flash of green or hear a giggle from the bushes, don't worry—that’s just site security).

2. The Digital Sleigh (Donate Online): Can't make the trek to the porch? You can still fuel the magic from your phone. We have opened a secure channel where 100% of donations go directly to purchasing gifts and essentials for local families. 👉 Fuel the Workshop here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-spread-christmas-magic-to-local-families?lang=en_US

3. Supply the Workshop: Our Tinker Elves are running low on the essentials to get these gifts ready for delivery. We are seeking:

Wrapping Paper (Fun, bright, loud!)

Tape (The structural integrity of Christmas depends on it!)

Gift Bags

Scissors (We need a few sharp pairs for the permanent toolkit!)

🎄 The Great Assembly (Wrapping Party): Stand by for a transmission regarding the date of our Community Wrapping Party! (See the photos below from last year's operations). We will be calling up all "Honorary Elves"—that means you—to come help us wrap.

Drop a toy in the box. Click the link. Join the guild. Let’s build a Christmas that chases the shadows away.

Note: The Old Church is a registered Pagan Church in the State of Michigan dedicated to serving the greater Southcentral Michigan Pagan community.

, As many of you know, our work is a labor of love, and we're so grateful for the community we've built together. To keep the majick flowing and our digital doors open, we have monthly expenses for things like live stream software, editing tools, and web hosting.
Instead of just doing things the usual way, we thought we would turn our monthly expenses into an opportunity for us to connect with you. So, we're launching a "Sponsor an Expense" offering.
Here's how it works:
Every month, we have nine critical expenses that keep our online community running smoothly. You can choose to sponsor one of these expenses in exchange for a one-hour co-reading with both Gussy and Grymm.
The price for each reading is tied to the cost of one of our expenses, creating a sliding scale from $25 to $65. This is on a first-come, first-served basis, and only nine slots are available each month.
$25 Reading: Covers the cost of our Canva graphic design software.
$30 Reading: Covers the cost of our Internet service.
$35 Reading: Covers the cost of, our video editing software.
$40 Reading: Covers the cost of Google Business tools.
$45 Reading: Covers the cost of Ezine Software for our digital publication.
$50 Reading: Covers the cost of Cloud Storage for our files and media.
$55 Reading: Covers the cost of our primary Editing Software.
$60 Reading: Covers Miscellaneous business expenses.
$65 Reading: Covers the cost of our Cell Phone used for live streaming.
Typically, our one-hour co-readings are $125, but this new model makes them more accessible while still ensuring we can keep our digital home running.
Ready to book?
Readings will be available during the last two weeks of every month, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. EDT.
To claim a reading, you must send us a direct message. We will list the available time slots in the comments of this post. When you see a slot you want, just send us a DM to secure it.
Grymm and Gussy.
