Christmas Tree of Love – Christmas is a time of giving! In that spirit, our Sunday School program is sponsoring a Tree of Love, located in the kitchen foyer. Each ornament represents a person and a gift request or suggestion. As God leads you, please take an ornament and return the unwrapped gift items in a Christmas-style gift bag or bags to the church office by Dec. 17th. Please keep the ornament with the gift so it goes to the right person. If you are giving a gift card, please attach the receipt and/or the activation slip with the card. Thank you!
