The Advent Giving Tree is back! Look for the tree in the Gallery and take a tag or two to lend a hand. The Outreach & Justice Council has chosen three ways we can help others in this season of expectation. Outside In helps underserved folks stay healthy in a nonjudgmental and affirming venue. The Community Transitional School serves children in impermanent circumstances for whom traditional school is difficult. And we have in our neighborhood a Syrian refugee family of 15 in the process of finding permanent housing, employment and schooling who could use some help. More information about these groups is on the bulletin board next to the tree.

Please leave the tag on your gift so that O&J knows what group it belongs to. If you bring a gift card, please put it in an envelope with the intended group’s name and put it through the mail-slot into the office.
