"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Matthew 25:35-36

Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a unique ministry that shares Christ's love by helping to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of families of prisoners. Prisoners sign up through chaplains to have gifts delivered to their children.

This year we have 24 children for whom we will be purchasing gifts. Please look for the "Angel Tree" at the Women's Ministry table beginning today. There you may select a child for whom you will buy a gift. The cost of the gift should not exceed $15 to $20 and a wish list will be provided by most.

Please wrap the gift and return it to the church no later than Sunday, December 16. Also, volunteers are needed to deliver the gifts!

If you can help, contact Sue Stanton, or sign up at the Angel Tree display.

Thanksgiving Baskets
Each fall we begin collecting non-perishable food items for our annual thanksgiving basket ministry. Baskets are delivered to families in need throughout South Orange County the week before Thanksgiving.

This Thanksgiving we would like to put together baskets filled with food items and other practical dry goods for deserving families. Please prayerfully consider making a basket so we can continue this meaningful ministry.
Items needed are:

• stuffing mix
• canned yams
• gravy mix
• pie filling
• marshmallows
• canned cranberries
• Thanksgiving theme napkins, etc.
