Adoption tables will be in the courtyard after each worship service.
We hope that you will join us in sharing the love of Jesus in our community by participating in this year’s Christmas Angel Tree Program.
You may adopt an entire family for food and children’s gifts. You can also deliver the gifts to your family. (Adopting an entire family is the only way to guarantee you will be able to deliver to them on delivery day.)

Adoption Days
November 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 26 and 30
Adoption tables will be in the courtyard after each service.
1. Adopt an entire family for food and children’s gifts. If you wish, you can also deliver the gifts to this family. (Adopting an entire family is the only way to guarantee you will be able to deliver to them on delivery day.)
2. Adopt one or more individual children for gifts and/or families for food baskets.
3. Sign up to deliver gifts on Saturday, December 9. When you sign up at the adoption tables:
– We will take your contact information.
– You will receive papers with information about your
“adoptees” and their family number.
If you are adopting an entire family and delivering to them, please do not return the items early. Bring them on delivery day and keep them in your car until delivery instructions are
provided.
Food Box Preparation
Quantities are based on a family of four. Adjust accordingly when buying for larger or smaller families. Please note that you are not required to purchase everything on the list—these are simply guidelines. Please do not purchase fresh fruits or vegetables, as they will spoil. Please keep each box under 35 pounds – small enough that an 11-year-old can carry it. Use as many boxes as you need. Gifts and food need to be in separate boxes, clearly labeled “FOOD” or “GIFTS.” Label gift boxes with each recipient’s name.
Label each box with the family name and number (black marker works well) to ensure that each family receives their food boxes.
Decorating the outside of the open food boxes adds to the excitement and enjoyment of receiving your gifts.
Purchasing Guidelines
We suggest that families purchase up to three gifts per child with a maximum cost of $25 for each gift, including gifts of clothing. Please try to spend a total amount of $75 or less per child. This is to ensure balance in the number of gifts children in each family receive.
Please wrap and label the gifts in Christmas paper and bows.
Label each box/gift with the child’s name and family number (black marker works well) to ensure that each child receives his/her gifts.
Give
Here are a few examples of how varying amounts of gift cards or money will help families:
- One Child—$60 for gifts
- Three Children—$180 ($60 per child for gifts)
- Family of 3 (1 child)—$130 for child’s gifts and for food for family
- Family of 4 (2 children)—$190 for children’s gifts and for food for family
- Family of 6 (4 Children)—$310 for children’s gifts and for food for family
We are requesting Target, Wal-Mart, or Fry’s gift cards. You may hand-deliver them to the church office from 9 am-4 pm, Monday-Friday, or drop them in the offering boxes at worship in an envelope marked Angel Tree. Please do not mail gift cards or drop them through the office drop-slot after hours.
