Angel Tree InformationIf you would like to be a part of Angel Tree this year, please stop by one of the area locations and pick up the name and information of a child. The Salvation Army is also collecting toys for needy families. (11/22) The Real Life family is collecting items to be sent over to the US Marine 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion stationed in Iraq . Some of the soldiers in this battalion have little or no family, and have yet to receive a care package during their time in Iraq . We can all help to support our our troops and let them know how much we appreciate them during this Christmas season by donating the follow items: one or two strands of Christmas lights (small bulbs are best), cotton or wool socks (black is best), baby wipes, bottles of water, beef jerky, crossword puzzles, magazines, activity books, water balloons, cards, homemade pictures made by children. Pretty much anything can be given that doesn't require special handling, or that will not perish in the 2 weeks it takes to get to Iraq . Please NO money. Items can be brought next Sunday, December 3rd and left at the information center, or items may be dropped off at the church office this week. If you have any questions you can contact Theresa Overturf: (Theresa.Overturf@NHGL.med.navy.mil). Theresa is a Navy Medic and a part of our Real Life family. (11/1) Truck or Treat was a big success last night. Close to 40 Real Lifers decorated their cars behind the church, and gave out candy to kids from the church and the surrounding area.
