Fun For Seniors

Cross your fingers and hope that the beautiful colored leaves stay on the trees until November 12^th.  That’s when the Gloria Dei Seniors go to Butler State Park.  It's always beautiful to travel through Kentucky, but the fall is extra special.  So why not go with us?  We always have a good time.

 

 

Angel Tree Report

            Last year in the state of Kentucky, there were 5,361 Angel Tree children.  Volunteers from 192 churches purchased and delivered Christmas gifts to these children, and shared the gospel with them.  All AT children in Kentucky were served.  This did not happen in other states. Through your generosity, 50 local children received presents along with a message from the prisoner parent and the Christmas gospel.

            Prisoners sign up for the Angel Tree program through the prison chaplain.  Information is then sent to volunteer churches like Gloria Dei, and participants are sought to purchase gifts.  Once again we have 50 children to be served.  Each child is to receive two gifts costing $15 - 20 each: a clothing item and a toy.
