This past Christmas, Simply Grace United Methodist Faith Community in Bloomsbury setup a tree for members to take a tag and buy a gift for a family in need. The congregation not only met the needs of that organization, but provided extra gifts too. Because of the overwhelming response, we filled the tree two more times with requests for gifts and every need covered!
In the new year the church has decided to leave up their “giving tree” and use it as a way to continually be open to caring for the needs of others. Besides aiding local charities, the “giving tree” will be a means of supporting those who are displaced because of a fire, or helping new neighbors or someone facing a challenge. Most importantly it will be a way to share Christ’s love.
