December is almost here along with the many holiday traditions that come with it. While advent calendars, trees, wreaths, and all the other trimmings are a wonderful part of the experience, there is a way that you can adapt your celebrations to help others in need. As well as eating a piece of chocolate or receiving a small gift to mark the days that lead up to Christmas, the idea is to put aside an item each day to donate to DLM Food & Resource Center.
Collect the items anytime between December 3-24. Bags are available in the Chapel Lounge. Return the filled bags to Holy Trinity on Christmas Eve before/after the 7:00 p.m. worship service or on Sunday, December 31. A collection area will be provided in the Chapel Lounge.
