Mitten Tree Sunday!

It's getting cold outside so, please bring in mittens, gloves, scarfs, etc for the Mitten Tree this Sunday at Arlington Street Church!

We will be "dressing" the tree with the scarfs we made and then help others at ASC as well.

In CRE, we'll read The Mitten Tree story and then create mini mittens that we will turn into cards to sell at coffee hour in the Parish Hall after the service! 

The donations collected from the cards will go the 

Friday Night Supper Program.

Then, after CRE at 1pm there is a totally fun Carol Sing that Mark the music Director will lead in the Chapel. Bring your family and friends will you for a great time!

On Sunday, our spiritual journey focuses on Chanukah, The Festival of Lights!

We’ll make some yummy latkes and have a taste of Chanukah. 

We’ll also be reminded to accept each person in life no matter what path they are on as we spruce up the Mitten Tree and create more scarves for the homeless who attend the Friday Night Supper Program at ASC.
