Calling all Angel Tree Helpers!

The Caldwell Angel Tree will be up in the Dyer Hall hallway on 11/20/2022 ready to adopt our Angels. We have been given 300 Angels that need to be adopted! If you could help members adopt, complete the sign out sheet, and give out trash bags on 11/20, 11/27 and 12/04 between all services, please email Ann Spaight.

This is a great opportunity for a family to do before a service or for a Sunday School class to do before or after class. Be an elf!

We will have people coming around with extra candy if/when you run out.

There will be PRIZES… Most Creative Trunk, Most Creative Way to Deliver Candy, Best Costumes, etc. Let us know what theme your trunk will be, and how many parking spots you will need (in case you want to spread out your set-up).
