The annual Giving Tree is now up in the Newman Center Chapel and full of ornaments, each bearing a young person's first name, age and clothing size. We invite you to take an ornament from the tree, purchase the item of clothing, wrap the gift and affix the ornament to the package so it can be sorted. The wrapped gifts can be brought to Newman any time and placed under the Giving Tree. All gifts should be brought to the Chapel by next Sunday, Dec. 17 after the 7pm Mass. They will be distributed the following day to local agencies.
People are welcome to buy gifts as individuals, teams, and offices etc.
Thank you for your support in this very important project. Area News Lessons and Carols Annunciation Church in Florence invites everyone to the 24th annual Lessons and Carols, a program of music sung by the church choir and traditional readings. The program will take place on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 2pm. For more information, call 584-1520. May the Lord support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
