Help Others! Give toward the Christmas in July Giving Tree!

Each summer our Community Outreach team organizes a Christmas in July Giving Tree event to benefit local organizations. This year we are looking for a variety of $25 gift cards to benefit Trinity Tutors, Pinks Hands of Hope, and the Men’s Shelter. Take an ornament from the tree in the Gathering Space or select from the list below. All items should be dropped off to the church by Monday, July 31. Be sure to include either the ornament or the name of the beneficiary organization. Thank you for your support of this wonderful cause.
