Angel Tree
Please join Grace Presbyterian Church’s mission of supporting children here in our own community.
Select an angel ornament from the Christmas tree at the front left side of the church sanctuary. There are 80 children of all ages, whose Christmas wishes are listed on each ornament. Each child is currently being cared for by the York County Department of Social Services. Write your name and phone number on the form on the door to the right of the tree. Your ornament will have a number that corresponds with a number on the sheet. Shop for the child’s gift, wrap it in a gift bag with tissue paper (no wrapped presents please, all gifts have to be inspected by DSS organizers!) and drop it off at the church no later than Sunday, December 8th. Thank you for helping to make a difference in the life of a child this Christmas! Any questions can be directed to Katie Rutland. 2019 Advent "I Believe Even When..."

This will help out the fellowship team by allowing us to plan events that match the interests of Grace. It will also allow Grace members to connect with each other through their interests.
