Angel Tree Christmas Party

Are you interested in helping to make the Christmas season more meaningful to a child of a prisoner? The Angel Tree Christmas Party for the children will be held on Saturday, December 12, Noon-3:00 p.m., in Keith Jones Hall. If you would like to purchase a gift for child who might not otherwise receive any Christmas gifts, stop by the Angel Tree table in the Connector between services on November 8 and 15 to select an Angel Tree Gift Tag. For more info, or to volunteer, contact Wendy Parker, 860-371-0367 or wendysparker@gmail.com.
