Angel Tree

The Women's Ministry sponsors the Angel Tree Ministry, which places a Christmas tree in the church foyer at Christmastime. This tree is decorated with empty envelopes and as a team, we pray for God to lay on our hearts the needs of those in our church or community. The money placed in these envelopes is given to needy families or individuals in the community for Christmas gifts or other essential needs. The Angel Tree project is not only about monetary contributions, but also helps us to share the love of Christ with those who need it.
