STARKEY ANGEL TREE – Watch for our Angel Tree Next Sunday in
Fellowship Hall! Your first chance to select your “angel” for Christmas gift giving will be on November 13. This year, recipients will be persons with intellectual disabilities who are served by Starkey, a 75-year old community agency whose mission is to enable more than 500 persons to live and work in the community. Starkey identifies “angels” with very low incomes, and limited or no family engagement, and who would otherwise have no gifts under their Christmas tree. UCC has committed to bringing a joyful Christmas to 50 such persons from Starkey. This project is guaranteed to engage our hearts in the spirit of this Christmas season. Please stop by our table in Fellowship Hall any Sunday in November for your assignment and instructions. If you have questions or want to volunteer to help, call Marla Flentje at 250-1344.
