The Giving Tree Update

Due to the generosity of so many in our congregation and friends, we collected $1,100.00 to give away!

The money will be distributed to needy people – many of them on the streets, or in a local high rise, or those you may know of locally, or begging on intersections. We do not judge what recipients do with the gifts or think about them, but we do hope it somehow reminds them that God is Good and they are not forgotten.

Every gift card bears the message:

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good;
His mercy endures forever.

Psalm 118:1
Blessings from Emmanuel Episcopal Church

The money was divided into Gift Cards as follows:

Kuhns2 @ $50$100

Many Thanks to Patti Cislon for spearheading this effort again this year to bless others to collect for THE GIVING TREE, and reflect the true meaning and spirit of Thanksgiving.

Well done, Patti!
Thank you on behalf of all of us at Emmanuel!
