This Christmas, we will be giving gifts through Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program to children who are separated from a parent because of incarceration. The gifts are purchased by people in the church and are given to the children on behalf of the incarcerated parent. This is a great opportunity to show the love of Christ to families who are affected by incarceration.
On November 26, there will be a Christmas tree at church with “angel tags” on it that give information about the children. Everyone at Incarnation who wants to participate should take a tag from the tree and buy the appropriate gifts, based on the information on the tag. (We would like each child to receive two gifts, one worth approximately $5-10 and one worth approximately $25-40.) After buying the gifts, you will simply wrap them, fix the “angel tag” to them, write the gift code inconspicuously on the corner of the package (in case the tag falls off in transit), and return them to church no later than Sunday, December 17 (you can return them earlier!).
We also need volunteers to help deliver the gifts the week before Christmas (December 18-22). If you would like to deliver gifts to a family, please let me know no later than Friday, December 15.
