ANGEL TREE– IHM Church and KC Council
9753 will be providing families in need with
food baskets and gifts If you took a tag from
the Angel Tree, please return the gift with the
tag attached to the church by Friday, Decem-

so we know who to distribute the gifts to. The
deadline is critical so we are on time for the
Christmas parties of each locality. Please only
purchase one gift per tag. Many families have
multiple children, and it is hard to explain the
difference. If you would like to purchase more,
please pick up extra tags, or wrap extra gifts and
tag them with age/gender information, and the
gifts will be divided accordingly. May God
bless you for your continued generosity!
2018 OFFERING ENVELOPES—are ready in
the church entrance. Please pick them up this

ready, please fill out the sheet provided. Also,
