Each year, our church is grateful to support our community through several meaningful outreach programs, including Angel Tree, Silver Bells, and Family Support. The Angel Tree program provides Christmas gifts—such as toys and books—for children identified by Madison County Social Services, bringing joy and hope to families during the holiday season. Silver Bells focuses on seniors in our community, offering much-needed clothing items selected from their Christmas wish lists.

This year, we also continued to grow our Family Support program, which assists families facing challenging circumstances. Madison County Social Services identified six families who received hygiene supplies, cleaning products, limited food items, and small household appliances. These essential items are intended to support each family for several months, and in some cases up to a year.

We are thankful for Thrivent, whose Thrivent Action Team program provided funding for these community outreach efforts. Their partnership helps make these programs possible and strengthens our shared commitment to caring for our neighbors.
