Angel Tree

2019 Angel Tree at Asbury

Asbury Communications Advent/Christmas, Service, Volunteer Opportunities October 30, 2019
Party help still needed! Contact Pastor Barbara Lee at blee@asburylv.org to volunteer!

 

This Christmas, Asbury Church will once again be participating in Angel Tree®, a program of Prison Fellowship! Angel Tree is a national program that links church families with children in local communities who have an incarcerated parent. The purpose of this program is to provide a gift and a memory to a child who might otherwise not receive anything from their parent during the holiday season. We are very excited to be a part of this important ministry where participants help prisoners’ children know that they are still loved and remembered by their incarcerated parent, especially around Christmas time.
On Saturday, December 7, 2019, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM,
 we will be hosting a party where Angel Tree families will come and celebrate Christmas with us in the Wesley Center of Asbury Church. We need many Asbury members, families, and groups within Asbury to get involved:

• We have children who will need sponsors. Each sponsor will make direct contact with their assigned family, buy and wrap 2 gifts per child at the direction of the care-giving family, and then attend our Angel Tree party with the child and their family.

• We need volunteers to help plan and organize the details of the party as well as help the night of the party with setup, cleanup, and various tasks throughout the night.
• We need donations of supplies for the party.
• We are also requesting monetary donations to help cover the cost of the party (pizza, drinks, entertainment, etc.).
There are so many ways that you can get involved!


ANGEL TREE CHILD ASSIGNMENTS AND VOLUNTEER SIGNUPS FOR PARTY:

On Sunday, November 10 our Angel Tree Team Representatives will be in the Community Room from 9 AM – 10:30 AM. During this time, Asbury families who wish to sponsor a child can receive their information and those interested in volunteering to help with the party can sign up for certain tasks.

For those who cannot make the sign-ups on Sunday, November 10 but would like to sign up to help, please contact Rev. Barbara Lee, Asbury’s Pastor of Discipleship and Congregational Care at blee@asburylv.org.
