CHRIST THE KING’S GIVING TREE

This weekend is the last opportunity for gift request tags to be taken from our Giving Tree. We need all gifts by December 9th! Each gift is for someone on our list, so if a tag is taken from the tree we rely on that gift coming in by December 9th. If you want to participate but don’t think you’ll be able to go gift shopping, there are Giftcard requests on the tree

(the gingerbread people tags).

GIFTS: Please return gifts UNWRAPPED (a gift bag is great) with the original tag attached. This is very important as the tag has a code telling us who it is meant for.

GIFTCARDS: Please return giftcards to the special Giftcard Box next to the Giving Tree (before/after Sunday Mass only) or to the Rectory Office. Please don’t put giftcards in bags or leave them with the gifts.

During the week, please bring any gifts or giftcards directly to the Rectory Office - do not leave them in the Church.

Our deepest thanks to everyone taking part in this project!
