We want to begin by helping members of our congregation who may need extra support this Christmas. To submit a request, please text Sister Michell Eike. All requests are welcome.

How to Participate

If you can help, please consider one of the following options:

• Adopt an angel.
• Partner with another member to adopt a child.
