As God leads you, please take an ornament from the tree and return it unwrapped in a Christmas-style gift bag to the church office by December 13th. Please keep the ornament with the gift so we can get it to the right person. If you are giving a gift card, please attach the receipt and/or the activation slip with the gift card.
