As we eagerly await the birth of the Christ child, we are reminded that this is the season of giving.

With this in mind, we will participate in a “Women Helping Women” initiative. We contacted a local women’s shelter to see how we can help their clients. They would appreciate our help this Christmas season, since many of these women are in need of support.

So, at our annual ECW Christmas Soup Dinner, we ask you to donate a new robe (any size) and/or a pair of slippers. A warm robe and slippers may bring a woman some comfort during a difficult time.

Please bring this comfort gift to the ECW Christmas Soup Dinner on December 1 at 6:00PM in the Parish Hall.

As in years past, our Giving Tree project provides parishioners an opportunity to make Christmas a little brighter for a local child.

Here’s how it works:

• You choose a child’s age and gender from our list.
• We give you a modest wish list of clothing (with sizes), toys and/or books–along with an empty box to fill.
• You purchase the gifts and place them unwrapped in the empty box.
• You return the box to the Parish Hall on Sunday, December 12 for distribution to the child’s school.

If you want to help a child, please see Linda Hunt this Sunday after the church service or contact her via email at presleysnana2@gmail.com
