New Horizon’s Angel Gift Tree Campaign Starts November 15th

The Angel Tree for New Horizon’s will be set up in the Narthex on Sunday November 15th. Please take a tag, buy the requested item, wrap your gift and then re-attach the entire tag to the package. Please bring your gift back to the church by Sunday, December 13th.

The Social Ministry Team will deliver the gifts to the New Horizon’s Women’s Shelter for Christmas. Every year we have requests for children’s clothing, games, dolls, art sets, twin sheet sets, snow pants (sizes 6X – 14), stamps and stationary/ journals, cleaning products, pillows and much more. Gas cards, gift cards for hair cuts, disposable cameras (with a gift certificate to process the film) and movie passes are always big hits at the shelter.

Please call Debbie Dukatz or Rod Tisthammer with any questions and/or concerns.
