Opportunities for Giving
St. Michael’s Parishioners – we need your help! There are four weeks remaining to complete your tax credit designation to Arizona Episcopal Schools Foundation. We are asking for all parishioners to take action, get involved and help St. Michael’s School receive those important tax dollars. Every dollar we receive supports assistance for deserving families. More information to come. Questions – Call Lila @ 722-8478 – extension 213 - at St. Michael’s School.
ANGEL TREE Giving 2008 - Angel Tree tags are now available for pick-up from the Christmas Tree at the back of church. Please be sure to sign the sheet on the usher’s table so that we will know what children’s names have been taken. This year we have 35 children and will also be buying groceries for Christmas baskets for several of the families. I appreciate all the donations you have made in the past for the Angel Tree project. This year I need all the gifts returned to the office or brought to the tree no later than Wednesday, December 17th.
Please remember to include the tags for return if any of the items are the wrong size or color. Most stores will give these when the gift is purchased. For any of you who would like to participate but are unable to shop, let me know and I will be glad to take care of it for you.
May God Bless all of you during this wonderful time of the year. Please call me if you have any questions or have any problems with your gifts. Thanking you in advance for your generosity – Ancelyn Smith
