The Angel Tree will be available from November 8 through December 1. Take an ornament from the tree. Purchase the designated items or gift cards. Return unwrapped gifts and gift cards by Monday, December 2. Designated drop-off boxes will be by the Welcome Desk and in Shawver Welcome Center. Gift cards will be collected at the Welcome Desk.

Shares

Shares are financial donations to a non-profit agency or FUMCR ministry bought as a tribute to a loved one. It's a gift that reaches beyond giver and receiver to benefit and serve those in need. We're featuring 10 ministries and agencies this year.
