SHELL POINT EMPLOYEE CHRISTMAS GIFT FUND 2026
T e Grace of Giving Each year, the Employee Christmas Gift Fund gives us a meaningful way to thank the people who bring skill, care, and kindness to their work and enrich our lives in ways both seen and unseen. This year’s theme, The Grace of Giving , draws from 2 Corinthians 8:7, where the Apostle Paul encourages believers to “excel in this grace of giving.” The 2026 campaign begins Thursday, October 1 , and continues through Wednesday, November 25 . There are three easy ways to participate: ♦ Write a check to Shell Point with “Employee Christmas Fund” on the memo line and return it in the enclosed envelope. ♦ Make a one-time or recurring gift in Wellzesta’s Concierge section. ♦ Call the Finance Office at (239) 454-2075 to create a personalized giving arrangement.
We hope you will join us in blessing those who serve our community so faithfully, Jeff and Jana Jarvis CO-CHAIRS Jeff and Jana Jarvis (Cellana) have built a life centered around faith, spending decades serving churches and Christian schools. Their ministry included leadership at several Christian and Missionary Alliance churches, most recently Christ Community Church in Excelsior, Minnesota, where Jeff served as pastor for more than 14 years. Since moving to Shell Point in 2022, Jeff and Jana have found many ways to connect and contribute around the community. Both sing in The Village Church Choir, and Jana also plays handbells with the Celebration Ringers. Jeff serves as a Governing Elder and Spiritual Elder, and he volunteers each summer with Vacation Bible School. Jana volunteers with the Larsen Health Center Auxiliary, helping connect residents with far-away family members via FaceTime. She also serves as Cellana’s alternate court representative. Jeff formed Sunshine, a four-piece ensemble that performs pop favorites for audiences at the Tribby and Larsen Health Center, as well as at court gatherings.
The Jarvises’ appreciation for the people who shape life at Shell Point made serving as co-chairs of the Employee Christmas Gift Fund a natural fit. “Shell Point has been a wonderful place to make new friends who feel like family,” said Jana. “And the employees play such an important part in making it feel like home.”
