The Giving Tree is back this year so Please bring your checkbooks and/or extra cash this Sunday. We only have TWO Sundays to collect the donations. So be on the look out for this magical tree. :)
For those of us...(myself included) that are new to the ward let me briefly explain what the Giving Tree is all about.
The Arlington 5th ward has chosen to give everyone an opportunity to help those in our area this Christmas by setting up a christmas tree filled with stockings. Inside those stockings you will see the an envelope with the donation amount labeled on the outside. Please take an envelope fill out the necessary information and return the envelope to a member of our Bishopric. Once the money is collected our Bishop and his counselors will prayerfully choose families that are in need of some help this Christmas season. We encourage everyone to give what they can.
The Checks/money MUST be turned in by DEC. 19th
“There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ.”
