FAMILY AND FRIENDS WELCOME
Alternative Gifts and Angel Tree
Wasatch Presbyterian Church will once again support "Alternative Gifts" and "Prison Fellowship Angel Tree" this Christmas season. Through "Alternative Gifts" you provide an often times life-saving gift to a person living in poverty in the name of a loved one. For example, you provide money for a water purifier for a family in Somalia. It is given in the name of your sister. Your sister has the satisfaction of knowing the family has clean water because of your love for her. Contact Sue Marquardt if you have questions about or can help organize "Alternative Gifts."
"Angel Tree" provides presents to children whose parent/parents is/are in prison. We WPC members buy the presents which are delivered to the children. The bond between the child is strengthened and a child, who may well live in poverty, gets a present. Contact MJ Dow if you want to help with "Angel Tree."
