5 JOIN OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH Angel Tree CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR 550 Children OF INCARCERATED PARENTS For over 20 years, Saint Barnabas has partnered with Angel Tree, a national program of Prison Fellowship, to share God s love by helping to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the families of prisoners. When mom or dad is in prison, their children are often the silent sufferers. You can let them know they are not forgotten by shopping for gifts on behalf of their incarcerated parent and in the name of Jesus. You can buy gifts out of your own pocket (spending about $50 per child); you can also shop for children with gift cards that have been donated by a generous parishioner. Then join us in December to wrap and deliver gifts. Questions? Please Kate Fimbres: kate@saintbarnabas.org or visit saintbarnabas.org. Thank you!
