Make a difference

It’s November, and that means Christmas will soon be here. It’s a season children look forward to with excitement, but for a child with a parent in prison it can be an especially painful time.

To bring some joy during the Christmas season to children, Saint Philip’s continues its partnership with Project Angel Tree. This year, the Angel Tree Project has expanded to support 79 children, compared to 41 last year.

Through Angel Tree, you can give a child a Christmas gift on behalf of their mother or father in prison. For a family dealing with the pain of separation due to incarceration, this simple act of kindness can make a huge difference. (If you missed it, you can read more about this wonderful program in this E-Pistle article by Saint Philip’s Angel Tree Coordinator Kyle Kim-Hays.)

This Sunday, November 23, you’ll find volunteers following the 10:00am service in the Murphey Gallery at the Ministry Fair.
