Community Christmas Tree Lights

 

Our Community Christmas Tree will be professionally lighted to make a real impact when we have our 5th annual Community Christmas Tree Lighting in November. We are upgrading to LED lighting system which will be more economical and lasts 5 to 7 years. We also plan to have a new star. The cost to remove the old lights and purchase new ones is approximately $6500.00. We need our church family to help with the other cost. If you would like to make your donation in honor or in memory of a loved one or someone special to you, please list the names when you give your donation.
