The Angel Tree is a meaningful and compassionate ministry of FBC. The gifts

from this ministry will be used to minister to children that might not otherwise receive

a Christmas gift. We ask that you follow the steps in the notebook (on stand beside the

tree) if you desire to participate in this ministry of Sharing the Joy of Christ.
