2. Purchase the gift.
3. Wrap the gift, put the gift card on it and bring it to Church.**

 

**If gift purchasing and wrapping are a problem, we will shop for the gifts and wrap them for you. If you would like us to do this, please take a gift card and then put your donation for that gift in an envelope, with the gift card and put it in the offertory basket. It is very important that the gift card be attached to the gift or the donation so that we know which family it goes to. Deadline for the gifts to be here is December 14. Thank you.
