Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is a community based project that I have overseen for
many years.  Our church family adopts several families and we purchase
Christmas Gifts for the children in that family.  Due to recent events with
COVID 19, the Giving Tree will look quite different this year.  We are
unable to put tags on a tree and there is the concern of having people go
out and shop for gifts. In lieu of the tags, I am asking for monetary or gift
card donations (Target, Walmart or Visa/Mastercard).  Please make all
checks out to NVUMC Sunday School and either bring them or mail
them to the church NVUMC at 70 S. Main St. Newark Valley, NY. 
Along with a few helper elves, I will then take these donations and
the gifts with rolls of wrapping paper and tags to wrap the gifts on their
own.  This has been a long standing tradition for our church and has been
a great way to give back to families in need in our community.  If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 279-7354.  Thank
you in advance for your generosity.
