Angel Tree

It seems like we just finished Pumpkin Patch 2011 and low and behold we are near the end of Pumpkin Patch 2012. The Pumpkin Patch is such a worthy project, and it does my heart good to see so many of our church family working so diligently to make sure it happens. But just as quickly as the Pumpkin Patch comes around so does Angel Tree.

As most of you know Butch Lewis has cooked every Sunday and the profits all go to the Angel Tree. This is one way we are able to buy food for these families. With the rising cost of food I know that we are going to have to spend more money than we have in the past. We are so thankful for everyone who purchased a burger, hot dog, or poboy; but, we will still need more than what we receive at the Pumpkin Patch. So this is my request, if we run out of Angels from the tree, please consider giving a monetary donation. This is probably the greatest gift you can give to the parents because they won’t have to see their children go to bed hungry.

If you would like to help in ANY way please call me at 298-0168. We LOVE to have helpers (from 4 yrs. to 104 years), we aren’t choosey. Having children help teaches them what the true meaning of Christmas is all about.

The Angel Tree calendar is below and remember any help will be greatly appreciate:

• November 25 Angels will be available
• December 16, noon ALL gifts due at the church wrapped & tagged
• 5:30 - Grocery shopping for Angel Tree (Many volunteers needed)
• December 17 TBA Delivery of food and gifts

We are known as the Pumpkin Patch Church, but from time to time I hear the comment, “Oh you go to Covenant, I know that church they do the ANGEL TREE.” Basically Covenant is the church with giving and loving HEART.

Thanks to you all,
Kathy Lewis
