SUMMARY:Advent Giving Christmas Tree
DESCRIPTION:Advent Giving Christmas Tree: Bless Our Community This Season\nShare the love of Christ this Christmas through a simple act of generosity! \nThe Christmas season is a time for joy\, hope\, and giving. It’s also an opportunity to remind our neighbors that they are loved\, valued\, and never forgotten. This year\, you can help make Christmas a little brighter for individuals and families in our local community through our Advent Giving Christmas Tree! \nFrom November 8 through December 6\, 2026\, we invite you to visit the Giving Tree in the church building and choose an ornament (or two!) featuring a gift request from someone in need. Each ornament represents a real person in our community and an opportunity to share kindness in a meaningful\, tangible way. \nWhether you choose one gift or several\, your generosity can make a difference. A requested item may seem like a small gesture\, but for the person receiving it\, it can bring comfort\, encouragement\, and a powerful reminder that someone cares. By participating\, you’re helping ensure that more of our neighbors experience the warmth and joy of the Christmas season. \nHow to Participate\nGetting involved is easy! \n\nVisit the Giving Tree. Stop by the church building beginning November 8 and select an ornament with a gift request.\nPurchase the requested gift. Choose the item listed on your ornament and help make someone’s Christmas brighter.\nReturn your unwrapped gift. Bring your gift back to the church no later than December 6\, 2026. Please leave all gifts unwrapped so they can be properly organized and distributed.\n\nEvery gift is an opportunity to share hope\, spread joy\, and show love to someone who may need a little extra support this season. \nBe a Blessing This Christmas\nAs we journey through Advent and prepare our hearts for Christmas\, let’s remember that giving is one of the ways we put our faith into action. Through the Advent Giving Christmas Tree\, we can come together as a church family to care for our neighbors and reflect the love of Christ beyond the walls of our church. \nYou don’t have to do something extraordinary to make a difference. Sometimes\, a single gift is enough to remind someone that they matter. \nLet’s bless our community this season\, one gift at a time! \nFor more information about the Advent Giving Christmas Tree\, contact Debbie Cali.
