Angel Tree

Posted on December 10, 2013 by Pastor

Please see the note below from Jeni S. regarding the Angel Tree.

We are doing God’s Work with Our Hands again this year!  Thanks so much for all who have taken ornaments from the tree in the Great Hall.  You kindness and generosity is very much appreciated.

There are still some ornaments left if you haven’t had a chance to take any.  I will leave them there till Friday, December 13, 2013.  I will go shopping Saturday so I can deliver gifts to families next week.

Let me know if you have questions or would like to donate money for the remaining shopping to be done.

You can also donate to the West Branch School District for lunch and milk money.  They apply the money received to accounts that are in need.

The youth of EPIC will be serving cinnamon rolls and other treats during fellowship hour following worship on November 10.  They would appreciate donations that will be used to make Chemo Bags to be delivered to the cancer center at Mercy hospital.  Approximately 40 bags containing care products for patients undergoing chemo and radiation therapy were delivered this past summer and were very well received and appreciated.  With your assistance and the hands of the EPIC youth we are doing God’s work.  Thanks!
