YOU CAN HELP!
Angel Tree is a ministry that reaches out to the children of inmates and their families with the love of Christ. It seeks to transform the lives of these families and to reconcile them to their Heavenly Father and each other. At Christmas time, volunteers from churches purchase and deliver gifts to the children of inmates in their parent’s name. Each gift delivery also presents an opportunity to share the love and hope of Christ with each family. Through Angel Tree, these children feel a parent’s love, despite their absence. St. Andrew’s will give presents to 134 children this year.
The process: On Sunday morning at St. Andrew’s, select an “angel” from the Christmas tree in the Narthex, purchase the gifts, wrap them and return them to the church by December 12, 2009.
Thank you to all who participated. This simple, hands-on mission’s project of gift-filled shoeboxes brings the Good News of God’s love to children in desperate situations around the world. With the help of this year’s “Build-a-Box” assembly line, St. Andrew’s and Torrance Good Shepherd Church supplied over 263 shoebox gifts which will be distributed to children in some 100 countries.
