Every November, Asbury UMC partners with Oak Mountain Missions and Shelby County Emergency to provide gifts to children for whom Christmas does not come. This year, Asbury is helping 83 children!
As in years past, individuals and groups may sponsor a child and shop for their gifts by selecting angels from Christmas trees outside worship. (Each angel represents one of six gifts we provide for the children.) This year we are excited to expand this ministry by deepening our connection with the children and their families. Groups, classes, and friends are encouraged to come together to sponsor an entire family—by purchasing gifts, sharing a meal, and spending time in fellowship.
How to Adopt an Angel:
– Take a red/green angel from a tree, fill out the attached white angel and leave the white angel in the box on the table.
– Purchase suggested gift items. DO NOT WRAP.
– Place unwrapped gifts in a shopping bag and securely attach the red or green angel to the outside.
– Return gifts by Sunday, Nov. 30.
—- Sundays: Drop off items under the Angel Tree
—- Monday-Friday: Deliver items to the church office, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
