Please remember, gifts need to be new and unwrapped in original packaging. The greatest need is for teen boys & girls, and for Moms & Dads. The Giving Tree is now up in the narthex with the names of 54 kids ages 3-4 from the Boone County Head Start. If you feel led to help one of these children have a blessed Christmas, just choose a tag from the tree & go shopping! Please be sure and put your name and phone number on our sign-up sheet by the number and name that matches your tag. Deadline to return your gifts is Sunday, Dec. 8. Make sure gifts are bagged together with tag attached. The Head Start director has asked if you would be willing to turn in your receipts for the gifts. It makes a difference in the federal govt. funding they receive each year if they can prove that they received help from the community. Put them in an envelope and return with gifts. Any questions, see Anita Holloman.
