To All the Christmas Angels
You Bring Such Joy
The ladies of WELCA want to thank all of you in the congregation who were Christmas Angels for Lutheran Social Services and Noah’s Ark this year. Two families, including ten children, will have a Merry Christmas because of you. One family received a turkey and the other family received a ham. This includes all the trimmings, including potatoes and gravy, yams, cranberry sauce, dressing, various vegetables and fruits and Jello or pudding.
Each child received clothing including a dress or pants, shirt(s), shoes, or a gift card in lieu of the shoes. It would not be Christmas without each child receiving a toy. There was also a miscellaneous box of unwrapped gifts (colored pencils, crayons, coloring books, etc.) that were given to other families in need.
We would like to extend a special thank you to the quilters who provided comfort, warmth, and security to each child with the gift of a quilt. Children are not the only ones who need to feel God’s love. The parents received quilts as well. The gift bag handles were tied together with a scrabble letter ribbon. What a special remembrance for each child and parent!
We just could not have done this huge project without your help and support. The ladies of WELCA want to thank Bethlehem for all your caring, generosity, and love in making Christmas bright and joyous for these families.
The ladies of WELCA appreciate you and all
of the support that you so graciously give to us.
