Our Advent tree is set in the narthex from today to help us prepare for the season of sharing and giving. Through the Advent Tree, each of us will have the opportunity to share with others in our community who have basic needs to address.
Each ornament on the Tree lists a separate need. As Advent unfolds, we’ll remove one or a few ornaments which will be our reminder to go out to fill the need written on it / them. Then we’ll bring back those items to church for collection in the gold box in front of the Advent Wreathe in church and distribution in the week of Christmas.
The focus of our efforts is the Bayonne Economic Opportunity Foundation which distributes needed items to the people they serve in Bayonne.
Please bring your items to the gold box by and even on Sunday, December 20th.
