Project Angel Tree

EVERY CHILD HAS A STORY

For 2.7 million children in the U.S., that story is filled with the abandonment, loneliness and shame that come from having a mom or dad in prison. For many, it may also include following their parents down the same destructive road to incarceration. Angel Tree®, a program of Prison Fellowship, reaches out to the children of prisoners and their families with the love of Christ. This unique program gives you an opportunity to share God’s love by helping to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the families of prisoners.

SHARING CHRIST THIS CHRISTMAS

How? Sponsor the child of an incarcerated parent through CLA Project Angel Tree effort this Christmas season. Provide a wrapped gift or gifts for up to $25 total and share it with the child and members of his or her family at our CLA Christmas Service Brunch on Sunday, December 20. Pickup your sponsorship form beginning Sunday, November 8th and we will provide you with a child’s name and information to help you with your gift giving!

Operation Christmas Child

[featured_gallery_tc count=’8′][/featured_gallery_tc]

Take part in this year’s Operation Christmas Child. Every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship—transforming the lives of children and their families around the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ!

As shoebox gifts are distributed, local pastors or church leaders present the Gospel in a fun way designed for kids while family and friends listen in. Along with their shoebox gift, children also receive The Greatest Gift, a colorful presentation of the Gospel in their own language.

Their shoebox is the first gift many children have ever received! The treasures and personal letters inside communicate that someone cares for them and give them an opportunity to experience the love of God.

How Can You Participate?

Pack your shoebox with gifts appropriate for a young boy or girl. Beginning Sunday, November 15 through Sunday, November 22, CLA, you may drop off your Operation Christmas Child gift(s) and we will get them to our local collection center. Find your packing checklist and guidelines here. You can also download the your packing label here.
