Adopt A Family for Christmas
A tradition at Grace is the Adopt-A-Family Christmas Tree. This is a
special tree in the welcome center decorated with “ornaments” reflecting the needs of a family that may be going through tough times and could use a little Christ Child cheer. If you know of a family in this situation please pick up the form available in the welcome center. To have the form emailed to you, and for more information, please contact Yoke:
ytanko@gracelcms.net or 760-745-0831
Please join us for our many events at Grace in December and share the joy of the Christ Child!
