ANGEL TREE
We have set-up an angel tree to collect toys for eleven students at our neighborhood school, Chesterbrook Elementary. The school has indicated that these these students will benefit from our generosity.
As you enter the church you'll see the tree decorated with ornaments listing Christmas gifts requested for these students. Choose an ornament (or grab a few!), then purchase & wrap the toys and return them to St. Dunstan's by Sunday, December 8th.
Please include the angel tag with the gifts so that we can keep track of the collection.
The gifts will be delivered to Chesterbrook and the school will distribute the gifts to the students' parents before their Christmas break.
