HEART OF GIVING | SUNDAYS - NOW - DEC. 23 Heart of Giving benefits four SMAA outreach ministries each year. This years ministries are: The Good Samaritan Fund, Project Moses, Jubilee Park and Community Center, and VNA Meals On Wheels in honor of Mary Bartholow. When one makes a tax-deductible gift in honor of another, the money goes to those ministries, and the donator receives cards they can give the honoree! This is a easy and festive way to impact others and support ministries at the same time. To learn more or donate online, go to saintmichael.org/heartofgiving.
LAST SUNDAY TO ADOPT! I BELIEVE IN ANGELS IBIA is a holiday drive and weekend of service benefitting the children and families of Jubilee Park and Community Center. This is the last Sunday to adopt an Angel, sign up to serve, and learn about the ministry. Adopt, donate, and volunteer online at saintmichael.org/IBIA.
WHY PLANNED GIVING? Planned Giving allows us to proclaim for our families and community what we valued during our lifetime, and our faith in God’s promise of eternal life.
