As we approach the 2020 holiday season, because of COVID and the many changes this year, the need to bless others and give unto others this season is especially poignant. If you would like to "be an angel" this holiday season we invite you to select a child's name off of our Angel Tree. The Angel Tree will remain in the Narthex for the next 2 weeks with gift tags for children. Please prayerfully consider turning love outward this Christmas by choosing an "angel" off our tree. Just select a gift tag for a boy or a girl and bring your unwrapped gift to the Narthex or the church office no later than 4pm on Monday, December 7th. If you are unable to pick a name in person, please call the Church Office (407-571-2100) or email Judy Wright and specify if you would like a boy or girl and the preferred age range. We will be happy to accommodate all who are willing to give.
Thank you, in advance, for being an angel to others by helping us make Christmas truly brighter for local children!
