Christmas Mission Tree

We’ll be partnering once again with local schools to assist families in need with Christmas! If you want to get a jump on shopping, e-mail lynne.settleumc@gmail.com to receive the name and need of a child. Ornaments with name/needs also will be on the tree in the Welcome Area.

All wrapped gifts are due back to the church office no later than Sunday, Dec. 11.

Ladies! Join Us for Gift Exchange at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3

After a two-year hiatus, our Ladies’ Gift Exchange is back! Holly Glenn brings this fellowship ministry idea to us from a church in Louisville. We’ll have brunch, devotion (Diane Keegan) and Christmas carols (led by Rebecca Volk) before our gift exchange.

For the Gift Exchange: Your 6 unwrapped gift items should be all the same type but may be different colors, sizes, etc. No particular price point. Items may be handmade or store-bought. Examples: ornaments, note cards, scarves, art, bread, baked goods, spices, wrapping paper, jewelry, etc.

Registration is required. To register, click here. If you need help with the online form, please call the church office during office hours.

Invite your friends and neighbors for a great morning of fun and fellowship. Childcare for children younger than 3 will be provided on request. We also ask that all participants bring a $5 Kroger gift card for the Help Office perishable food pantry and a brunch item to share.
