Angel Tree

Angel Tree Mission is an opportunity to share Christ's love by helping to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the families of prisoners.  In Matthew 18:5 Jesus said, "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."  there are children right now in our community who are among the most at risk children in the nation.  Let's demonstrate Jesus' love to the people who are often forgotten, destitute, embarrassed and shunned.  Please consider sponsoring one of the 20 children in our community that Central has committed to supporting this holiday season.  Watch for our ANGEL TREE display staring in November.  More information is available on their website http://www.prisonfellowship.org/programs/angel-tree/.  If you would like to participate with this mission contact Heather Olawsky at 763-274-2567.
