Life has not completely returned to pre-pandemic conditions. Because we are not all back to church yet, we wanted to again offer you the different options for participating in the Giving Tree program.

The tree will still be in the back of church for you to pick a leaf beginning on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, or you can choose from the list below. You can place your donation under the tree as you have in the past. Or, Cindy Asinger will be on the bell tower parking lot on Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. to collect your donations.

Should you choose to donate a gift card, you can either drop it in the collection basket in an envelope marked “Giving Tree,” or you can mail it to Cindy Asinger, 4130 Malcolm Dr., St. Louis, MO 63125.

Your sacrifice and generosity are always greatly appreciated by St. Martha’s Hall for Abused Women and Children and the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry.
