Our 8th Annual Angel Tree Gift Giving Event was a great evening of fun, fellowship but most of all giving gifts and showing God’s love to those children in need. For those who may not know, Angel Tree is a ministry of Prison Fellowship. Volunteers go out and buy gifts for children with an incarcerated parent. Statics show that keeping a relationship between an incarcerated parent and their children greatly reduce the chance of those children going to jail or prison.
As in past years, we start out at In N Out Burgers for dinner and fellowship. One of the neat things about this is that we get to connect with past Hollywood Impact Studio friends that we may not have seen since last year. It’s a time to catch up and hear their success stories. Praise God! Thank you to In N Out for your excellent food and service.
Then after a great meal, we loaded onto the Grace Baptist bus and Eden Ministries van and headed to Pacoima. Thank you Grace Baptist Church and Eden Ministries for allowing us to use your vehicles and to Bob Amstutz for volunteering to drive the bus.
We delivered gifts to (5) family, 15 children. We also had a fun time singing some Christmas carols through the neighborhoods. We may not have the greatest voices, but it is all to God’s Glory.
And we had our annual end of the evening photograph of everyone. Again what a great evening. Thank you to everyone who attended and to those who pray for this ministry.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Excited to see what God does through this ministry in 2019!
