What is the Advent Giving Tree?
Each year we put trees in our Gathering Space. On the trees are tags that have an item that is requested to help support an individual or family in need.
Through the generosity of many parishioners and visitors who select a tag, Christmas joy is given to those in need who would not be celebrating Christmas without our help!
The trees will be set up in the Gathering Space on November 19.
Please take a tag off a tree in the Gathering Space and return the item UNwrapped item (or purchase online) by Sunday, December 8.
This Advent Season your donation will be helping 3 local charities!
