Collections for our Holiday Gift Program for Home of the Sparrow are underway! We’re helping a family, living at the shelter (a mother and her 5 children), by fulfilling their Christmas wish list.  We’re also collecting a few items for the shelter.  This year’s gift program began last Sunday, and there are still a few nametags waiting to be taken off the Christmas tree in the narthex.  Each tag has an item for either the mother, one of her children, or the shelter.  If you can, please take a tag from the tree, purchase the item, and then return the unwrapped item with the tag, and place it in the box next to the Christmas tree, by Sunday, November 24th.  Your generosity will provide a joyous holiday season for this family.  If you have any questions, please talk to Linda Chodan.        …Thank you, the Mission Team
