St. Michael's Giving Tree Help us to support local organizations through your generous donations this Christmas season. Because of Covid, we are going paperless and will not have ornaments on the tree in the Narthex. To participate, look over the list and pick a charity. Once you have selected the charity, pick one or more items to donate. Bring the item(s) (new and unwrapped please) to the church and leave them under the Giving Tree in the Narthex. Please label the item with the specific charity so we know when sorting what your intention was. All the gifts are needed by Sunday, December 13th in the morning. The only exception is Southern Valley Alliance which would like their gifts by December 6th. Thank you for your generosity!
