Angel Tree, part of Prison Fellowship Ministries, is a ministry that provides Christmas gifts to children of incarcerated parents. This year St Luke’s is joining with Truly Reaching You Inc. to bless over 250 children in the greater Akron area.
St. Luke’s is one of several churches in the area working with TRY, and there are two ways you can support the ministry of Angel Tree. You can sign up to purchase gifts for the children, or you can volunteer at the Angel Tree party, on Saturday, Dec. 14th, when the gifts are distributed.
If you are interested in gift giving, Angel Tree Tags wil be available in the Foyer beginning next Sunday, Dec. 17th.
St. Luke’s will have 50-60 Angel tags, each representing a child in our area. Please register your tag with one our helpful volunteers so we can keep track of which tags have been taken and track when gifts have been returned. There are gift suggestions on the tags for each child. We recommend purchasing a gift of ‘want’ and a gift of ‘need’ for each child. You can expect to spend approximately $60 to $70 for your gifts, so feel free to ‘go in’ with friends, family, your life group, or ministry group.
Gifts should be returned to St. Luke’s by Sunday, Dec. 8th.
For those interested in serving at the Angel Tree Party, which will occur on Saturday, Dec. 14th, there will be a meeting next Sunday, Dec. 17th, after the service to discuss details and opportunities to serve. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend. If you have any questions, contact Jim Fulton.
