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 of the church decorated with “ornaments” reflecting the needs of a family that may be going through tough times and could use a little Christ Child cheer. Do you know a family that fits this scenario? Pick up an application in the welcome center and look for the “ornaments” to be placed on the tree in upcoming weeks. All applications must be received by November 26th and are confidential. Questions can be directed to Alicia in the church office. ahaase@gracelcms.net 760-745-8031
