Giving Tree Committee
The Giving Tree is our annual drive to provide for needy families during the Christmas season. Parishioners take tags from our Giving Tree (located in the Church gathering space) and purchase the items listed on them. The items are then returned (wrapped or unwrapped, depending on the item and the organization asking for it) to the Parish Hall, where they will then be delivered to the respective donation center.
The Giving Tree Committee member will help create tags, collect and transport gifts to the needy at Christmas.
Prayer Ministry
parishioners to pray for parish members and the good of the Church.
A person who is not feeling well can never have enough prayers being said for them. This is a “special” ministry that does not require any special talent and as much or as little amount of time as you feel you can allow each and every day.
