The Angel Tree

 


The Angel Tree is a yearly project of St. John’s Lutheran Church, along with other churches and organizations in the community.  Started out of the trunk of the car of one of our members, it has grown over the years, and now serves over three hundred families in the area.  Every year, families in the congregation are encouraged to take an “ornament” from the Christmas tree on which the “wish list” of a child is written, and obtain gifts for that child.  These are collected, wrapped by our youth, and placed in bags for pick-up by the children’s parents.

 

Need is determined by the Salvation Army; The Lewistown Public Library gives each child an age-appropriate book, which is included in the package of gifts.
