The Angel Tree will be in the Narthex on November 16. We are assisting 140 children from 51 families this year. Each child has 4 Angels on the tree with suggested gift items to purchase along with their sizes. Online registration helps our volunteers track down any unreturned gifts. When you select your Angels from the tree before or after Mess, volunteers will be available to help sign out your Angel. If you select an Angel when volunteers aren't present, you can access the online form or there will be paper forms available for you to register your Angel(s).
Online Registration:

fill out a second form
This can be done on a smart phone, laptop or tablet
Return the wrapped gift to the tree with the Angel tag taped to the top and the Angel information showing. A label will hide the package contents.
