opportunities to further give to the families that have recently been part of the family promise

program. Please take the opportunity to select an angel from the tree, purchase the gift that is

on the angel, and return the wrapped present (gift receipts are a plus!) with the angel taped to the

outside of the present to the church office no later than Friday, December 16. Please make sure

that you sign that you took an angel in the corresponding space (each angel has a number on

them) so we know who has angels. Questions, see Carla in the church office.
