Family Advent Day
A Time for Watching & Waiting
As the holiday season approaches, many of us
find ourselves caught up in pre-Christmas
activities that may leave us exhausted rather than
hopeful. Join other members of the parish as we
reclaim the wonder and purpose of Advent and
look at ways to keep the season filled with joyful
expectation.
Family Advent Day will be in the afternoon of
Saturday, December 5th 1:30pm - 3pm

page of this weeks bulletin. Detach and return
to the church office or place in offertory
basket.

later than the weekend of December 12th & 13th.
1) Make sure you sign the Signup Sheet
Fill out the family number and the child’s
name/gender found on your Angel or Star
tag. Include your phone number.
2) If your child is 13 or older and still in school,
he/she will receive a $35 gift certificate purchased by Caring & Sharing instead of gifts.
Write a check payable to Caring & Sharing.
If available, amounts in access of $35 will be
used for the general fund that provides
socks, shoes and underwear certificates to
the families. (We cannot accept gift
certificates from other sources)
3) DO NOT WRAP YOUR GIFTS!
Please provide gift wrap with your gifts so
that the parents of the children can
participate in wrapping the gifts for their
children. Don’t feel obligated to spend more
than $35 per gift; however, any additional
generosity is appreciated by all.
4) Place your gift in a bag and firmly tape your
Giving Tree tag on the outside of the bag.
Return Gifts and/or checks to the church on
the weekend of December 5th & 6th.
A child will be happier this Christmas because of
your generosity!!!
