This year, our Salvation Army Giving Tree is going virtual.
Give the gift of love this Christmas Help local, low-income families by buying clothing and gifts for one or more children. We have fifty kids to support this year.
You can stop by the church office and pick a child, or sign up for one here… https://tinyurl.com/givingtree20
There are five easy steps…
- Choose a child to support and click on the link to sign up
- Purchase an outfit for that child – information on sizes is in the sign up comment line
- Optional – you may purchase something extra to put with the gift. Ideas/interests are listed on the sign up, if known.
- Put UNWRAPPED gift(s) into a gift bag
- Return gift to church by December 2. Please attach something that has your name so we know you dropped it off.
For questions, please contact Paul (discipleship@onalaskaumc.org) or Jessica (kidmin@onalaskaumc.org) or call the church office (608-783-1331)
For Sunday, November 29, Pastor Park Hunter preaches “Home Alone,” based on Jeremiah Mark 13:24-37. Our Advent readings start with an apocalypse. That feels about right for 2020! Yet even when we are home alone, bunkered down against the end of the world, we wait and watch with hope. This is the beginning of our Advent/Christmas series, “Home for Christmas.”
For our Thanksgiving Evening service Wednesday, November 25, Pastor Park Hunter preaches “Thanks for Everything,” based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24. Christ challenges us to give thanks for everything: the turkey on the table… and the turkey sitting at the table. Yet when we practice steady rejoicing and ceaseless prayer, God goes to work transforming us into ever-thankful people.
