BUILDING THE HEART WEEKLY UPDATE PHOTO

We are so honored to be able to continue with the Angel Tree Program this year! Due to Covid-19, we will be handling it in a different manner for 2020. We will have numbered Christmas cards with children’s Christmas needs and wants written on the inside. You will pick a number and provide us with your contact information next to the number you chose. Please return the wrapped gifts with the child’s name on the gifts to the Activity Center front desk by or before December 13th. If you worship with us from home and would like to participate, please email Vivian Johns at vivian@perdidobay.church and she will email you a child’s information. Thank you for your help in advance.
