Please adhere to the following guidelines: 1. $50 limit per child. (no gift cards) 2. If more than one gift is purchased for the

child please package as one. 3. Please attach the tag with the childs name to

the gift. 4. Please return your gift to one of our worship

sites by the deadline which is noted on the tag. 5. PCCO gifts are due the weekend of December
