STOCKINGS AND STARS CHRISTMAS TREE - 2021

It has been an unusual year for our community so your love and generosity is needed even more to give a local child a special Christmas.

     This is Good Shepherd’s 18th year of donating gifts through the Thornton Police Department for children from newborn to 16 years old. Because of the uncertainty COVID-19 this year the Stocking Tree program will be handled as we did last year.

There will be no tree with stockings and stars on it.  We will not be able to store the gifts in the sanctuary as we have done in the past, so we are asking that gifts be brought to the church December 12th and a collection will take place before and after 1st and 2nd service. The Methodist Men’s Group will collect the gifts for delivery that day.

     Each of you may choose the age and gifts that are appropriate as you have always done. (Some suggestions below).  To help the distribution process, please put a note on the bag showing age/boy or girl/or if you concentrated on one specific toy or clothing item.  Suggestions from the Police Department this year included warm clothing/Legos/pajamas/gloves/etc. that could be included with a toy if possible. Also, most often overlooked are the older teens.

     Do not wrap gifts. Smaller gifts are usually better as most children receive 2-5 gifts.  Mark bag with age/boy or girl information

Collection Day—Sunday, December 12th 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m... We are unable to store gifts in the sanctuary this year.
