ANGEL TREE SEASON COMING SOON! by Judy Wingert
You are invited to participate in the Angel Tree project this year! We are already starting to coordinate calling the caregivers for gift ideas. Angel Tree Sundays, will be Nov. 10th and Nov. 17th. If you wish to shop for either a toy or clothing gift for a child, we will have the Angel Tags on the Christmas Tree on these 2 Sundays. This year the tree will be in the Welcome Center (the former overflow). UNWRAPPED Gifts and a gift bag will need to be returned no later than Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024. The next event is gift wrapping. All are welcome to help wrap gifts, on Sunday, Dec. 8th from 11 am right after church to about 1:30 pm. Then the most fun part - GIFT DELIVERY. This year we have 27 families to deliver to the week of Dec. 15th. It's not hard, and it is very rewarding. Please contact Judy Wingert to volunteer or to ask questions - 520-909-4404 or [email protected]
