Now in its third decade, CSA's Angel Tree Project makes the Christmas season brighter for local families who might not otherwise have much to celebrate. Please check the Angel Tree bulletin board in the Social Hall and pick up a wish list. Through generous donations of food baskets, new clothes, toys, and other goodies, CSA is blessed to be able to share the Christmas spirit with our neighbors. Please do not wrap the gift, but drop it off in a gift bag. We are accepting donations until Sunday December 15, 12pm. Please contact the church office if you have any questions, 301-229-3383. |
