Our annual Advent Giving Tree Project begins Tuesday, November 26th! 

Our tree will be in the Narthex through December 15th.  Ornament tags will be hung containing "wish list" requests from our friends at Heritage Woods Assisted Living in McHenry.  Most of these residents are living on a very fixed income and a few have no income at all.  The residents have been asked to list two or three suggestions for Christmas gifts that they would like to receive.

In the past, their requests have been items of clothing, candy, stationery, puzzles, etc.  Also, for gift cards to local stores such as Meijer, Jewel, Kohls, Ace Hardware, Walmart and Walgreens. We are asking that if you remove a gift request tag from the tree that you make every effort to bring the wrapped gift back as soon as possible so we know that every resident will receive a gift.  Gifts, with tag attached, should be put under the tree on or before December 15th.

Thank you for your tremendous support of this project in the past.  Those of you who have helped make this happen know that we always receive much more than we give...knowing how much these ladies and gentleman appreciate receiving their gifts.

If you have any questions or would like to help with this project, please contact Megan Doherty at (815)385-0025.
