The holidays are almost here! As in years past, the ELPC Deacons are organizing the Christmas Giving Tree to benefit children and families from ELPC’s Mission, Christian Education, and Hope Academy ministries, East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM), and Casa San José.
This year’s Giving Tree will be different. There will be no physical gifts, only $25 gift cards to stores like Target and Walmart. Instead of having the Giving Tree signup before or after our worship services, we will be using SignUpGenius.
When the gift requests are all complete, we will send out a link to the sign-up form, where you will be able to select that you will purchase a gift card. You also could choose to send donations, in any amount, for the purchase of a gift card. Both gift cards and donations will need to be sent to the church by Wednesday, December 9. You can mail the gift cards or drop them off at the church’s front desk. Donations can be sent in via checks made out to “ELPC Giving Tree” or through the “Donate” button at ELPC.church. Please designate that your donation is for the “Giving Tree.”
If you are not computer savvy, but would like to help out with the Giving Tree gifts, please contact Trish Buben at tab190@gmail.com or 410.504.2561 or Pastor Patrice at PatriceFS@coh.net or 412.441.3800 x130.
The ELPC Deacon Board thanks the congregation for its enthusiastic support of this ministry.
