Angel Tree
December 1 - December 18
The Women’s Ministries have put up an angel tree in the fellowship hall. This year we will be collecting items for the Crisis Pregnancy Center
along with items for some families within our church. If you are able, take a tag, or two, and write your name on the list by the tree next to the tag # you choose. Please return your gift wrapped (or gift bag) and attach the tag to the gift. Thank you for helping us to bless others this holiday. We need all gifts brought to the church by December 18th, no later please.

Providence Family Christmas Party

Everyone is invited, including the kids! Bring your favorite appetizer or dessert and of course we’ll need beverages as well. If you would like to join in on our crazy gift game, bring an item you have at your
