SUNDAY SCHOOL GIVING TREE
The Sunday School is collecting gifts for children through its annual giving tree. It is an opportunity for the children of the Sunday School, as well as the rest of the parish, to give to children truly in need. The gifts collected will be given to the students of the Hartwell Learning Center. Some of these students will not receive any other gifts for Christmas than those we provide them.
In addition, gift cards to local supermarkets are welcome (in $10 denominations). These will be given to Fr. Dean and Fr. Greg for our church's Poor & Needy Fund and distribution at their discretion. The children of the Sunday School may feel free to offer any monetary donation toward the purchase of these cards by the Sunday School program.
Please visit our tree outside the Cotsidas Auditorium after liturgy on Sundays for details and to select an ornament that will truly make a difference in a child's life.
