Every year people ask me if there is a need they can give to, so we’ve come up with the Christmas Wishlist. We all love to give out of our abundance, especially at the end of the year when we realize just how blessed we are. The Christmas Wishlist gives us some ministries and projects to consider gifting. The gifts range in size so that there is an opportunity for everyone to participate. No gift is too small. Thank you for being generous again this year and sharing your blessing with those in need, or to help with a church project.
Merry Christmas, and God Bless You!
