Angel Tree Project

This Christmas Season Christ Our King is participating in the Angel Tree project to supply Christmas Presents to children who have a parent in prison. We have adopted twelve children in Mid-Missouri to purchase Christmas gifts for and to share the good news of Jesus's birth.

This Sunday (December 11th)we will have the names of our adopted children. If you would like to participate please sign up this Sunday. The total spent on each child should range between $15 and $20.

The next Sunday (December 18th) we will be picking up the gifts to be distributed that week. It is important that these be turned in on the 18th so we can get them to the children on time.

If you are still interested in doing this after our twelve kids have been adopted, please contact Fred Lutz or Scott Matz.
