Holly Hearts
Expand
The Deacon Board seeks to be a help and a blessing to those in our church family who struggle to make ends meet, especially during the Christmas holidays. We are blessed to be heading up the Holly Hearts ministry again this year. We have reached out to a number of families who may be struggling this holiday season and have asked them for gift ideas for their children. These gift suggestions are hanging on the Holly Hearts tree in the lobby. Pick a heart from the tree (as many as you like!), fulfill a child’s gift request, and return the wrapped gift to the tree by December 16. If you have any questions, please contact: Carol Riebeling (carolmary.rieb@gmail.com) or Marilyn Simpson (2ndserve@att.net).
