Take a tag (or more!) from the Advent Giving Tree in the Narthex and fill out your contact information on the provided sheet. Each gift tag includes the child’s age, gender, and gift suggestion. We ask that you shop for one gift per tag and place your wrapped gift with tag attached under the Advent Giving Tree.
