Giving Tree
Every Christmas the Social Concerns Committee of Resurrection Church supports various not for profits in the community by sponsoring families and individuals from these not for profits that are in need for Christmas. In the weeks following Thanksgiving Social Concerns set up a Christmas Tree in the Narthex of the Church. On the tree are tags that anonymously list people in the community that are in need during the Christmas Season and what their needs are.
