Holiday Gift Ideas Benefit Local and International Charities

Our Haiti Partnership -
Christmas is a great time of year to honor your loved ones or colleagues with a holiday gift which makes a lasting impression while improving the lives of others.  By making a contribution to the Haiti Partnership, you will provide scholarships for the children of St. Paul’s Church in Montrouis and medical supplies for our next mission trip to St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince in April, 2010. To make your gift, simply click this link, print and fill out the form, and mail it in to the church.

Church Health Center Holiday Card -
A painting by GSL parishioner and well-known local artist Jimpsie Ayres is featured on this year’s Church Health Center holiday card, one of the Center’s biggest fundraisers of the year. Church Health Center holiday cards can be sent in honor or memory of loved ones, friends, clients or even co-workers. To order, go to churchhealthcenter.org/holidaycards or call 272-7170.
