Our Advent plans include our traditional Cap and Mitten tree and “Adopt a Family” through Feed My People. The skinny little Charlie Brown Christmas Tree is in the Gathering Space. Since we have not resumed in-person worship, caps, mittens, gloves, and scarves can be dropped off at the home of Barbara Barnes, 10548 Stephenson Drive.

Starting on November 30, we will collect monetary donations to purchase gift cards for our family: Jackie 48, Nellie 10, Joelie 9, and J.J. 19. Money should be sent to Kathy Shelton, payable to St. Philip’s, with “Adopt a Family” on the subject line. Feed My People suggests a donation of $250. Outreach Ministry will purchase gift cards for a grocery store and for Walmart, so that the family can purchase holiday food and gifts. If we collect more than $250, funds will be used to help pay down outstanding utility bills.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to spread Christmas cheer to those who are less fortunate. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
