May 14 – June 11
Details:
Choose an ornament (or several) from the tree in the Welcome Area behind the sanctuary. Lists on ornaments are for girls and boys of various ages.
Follow the very specific list on the ornament for each sponsored child. Please avoid getting creative and follow the list exactly.

Put the ornament list (VERY IMPORTANT) together with the items in any bag or container you don’t need returned and place it in the collection bins in the Welcome Center or church office by June 11.
