Come To The Crib

Please be sure to pick up the information regarding this year’s Come To The Crib project. Fliers naming the three agencies we are helping and the items they are requesting can be found in the Nativity crib in the gathering space of the church. Please do not gift wrap your donations. Put them in a bag or box and put the name of the agency on the outside. We will separate them and see that they reach their proper destination. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Saint Ann community to help those in need feel Christ’s presence in their lives.
