As you enter the church foyer, you'll find the Angel Tree adorned with ornaments, each representing a heartfelt wish from someone in our community. Select an ornament and discover the name of the item you can contribute to make a difference in someone's life. Whether it's a warm blanket, a nourishing meal, or a cherished toy, your generosity will bring warmth and happiness to those in need. Let's come together and make this season brighter for everyone.

Come Be Part of a “Hallmark Movie” Holiday Event!
Looking for a good, old-fashioned fun and memorable event to make your Christmas special? Then come be with us on December 22 at 5 pm for “Campfire and Carols”! The event will be held outside, so you may want to bring your own camp chair (we’ll provide some seating, as well) and bundle up! This is a chance to sing favorite holiday songs and carols, to make s’mores at our outdoor fires, and to have fun. There will even be a “special surprise” at the end that you won’t want to miss. Kids and parents with youngsters will especially want to have their cameras ready to capture this memorable experience!
See you at 5 pm on December 22 for “Campfire and Carols”!
