"The Giving Tree" collection of Christmas gifts for children in Head Start

Gifts should be placed under the Christmas tree in the Narthex by

December 10. Please remember to attach the number tag

to your wrapped gift. Thank you!

The Giving Tree collection begins November 12 and will end December 10. This year

the collection of gifts will include 21 special needs students in PVK and 36 students

in Head Start at a nearby local school. Please come and select a child from the

Tree and purchase a gift for that child. The children are ages 3-5. We also 

have special elves at church that can do the shopping and wrapping for you,

just make a monetary donation to Outreach, Giving Tree. Thank you

and bless you for bringing some Christmas magic to the children.
