Community Christmas Tree and Mitten Tree

Please take a tag from the Giving Tree located to the side of the sanctuary. The tag suggests gift ideas for local children in need.

  1. Take a tag
  2. Put your name and phone number on the list by your Tag(s) number
  3. Return the gifts UNWRAPPED with the tag visible on the outside of the gift by Sunday, December 4.

Place gifts in the parlor. Make a little boy or girl in the community very happy this Christmas.

Tags taken but no name listed: 19C, 28B. If you have taken a tag but didn’t write your name down, please contact Pat Calvert at 330-205-8815 or the church office.

Anyone interested in providing financial assistance should send donations to:
Community Christmas
PO Box 14
Carrollton, OH 44615.

The Mitten Tree is once again in the hallway. In addition to hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves there is a need for children’s underwear and sweatpants sizes 5-8, and socks sizes 11-1.

These items are widely needed in our community. Please place your donations on or beside the tree by Sunday, December 4. With the economy the way it is, there is a great need in our community. Please count your many blessings and reach out to those less fortunate as our Lord directs.

In memory

The rose on the organ is in memory of Leland Smith who passed away November 13.
