Hope for Christmas (Adopt-a-Family)

Hope for Christmas (Adopt-A-Family) is right around the corner! So far, we have 26 families that need blessings at Christmas, so we will need a lot of help!

Ways to assist:

• Please let RuthAnn know as soon as possible if you are willing to be an angel for an entire family. We know that circumstances may be a challenge. If you have a limit to the number of children in a family that you would like to have, please let us know that as well.
• This year, we will be providing all children (including teens) with a new pair of shoes and a coat (if requested), a present, and a book. If you would like to provide more than one gift or book because the child does not need the coat or shoes, that is fine as well. We will also be providing the families with a $100 gift card for food.
• Our giving tree will hold individual items you can choose from as well. The sign up begins November 3 after each service. We will also include access online.
• We would love to be able to get a Bible for those children who request it so we would appreciate your donations! Checks can be made out to St. Andrew’s with “Hope for Christmas” in the memo space.
• Sign up on our Service Worship sign-up genius to help us fill stockings for each child and provide household items to each family. We are excited to announce that our Preschool & Kindergarten families will be assisting with the stockings as well!
• We will need help with wrapping and sorting stocking stuffers. Please let us know if you can help with either of those items.

Finally, we are inviting all families to our outreach event on December 15, Cookies with Santa, which is held on the patio of the SW campus in between the 9:00 am and 10:45 am services. (More information about that soon.)

Please let RuthAnn know if you have any questions! Thank you in advance for all your Hope for Christmas!
