Sponsor a Christmas gift for the child of a parent in prison who can’t be home for Christmas! Your donation of $42 gives a child:
What’s New? COVID-19 precautions mean that we will participate in Angel Tree in a very different way this year. Instead of our usual Angel Tree laden with Angel Tags at the church in early December, the national Angel Tree Ministry has provided us with our own Rose Hill Church Virtual Angel Tree. Also different this year is that instead of shopping for and wrapping gifts for your sponsored child, you will make a donation of $42 for each child you choose to sponsor.
How Does It Work? When you visit Rose Hill’s Virtual Angel Tree you will find 30 Angel Tags for children in the Seattle-Tacoma area who have a parent in prison this Christmas. Look through the Tags to learn the names, ages, and home city of each child and then select one or more you wish to sponsor. When you select an Angel Tag it changes color and is added to your Shopping Cart. You will also see a pop-up notice if that child has a sibling on the list. You can then choose to sponsor the child’s sibling(s) if you wish to do so.
You can go to the Shopping Cart at any time to remove any Tag(s) you have decided not to sponsor. You can then return to the Tree to select other Tags, or proceed to check out. The check out process is like most on-line shopping web sites. You will be asked to provide credit/debit card information to which your donation will be charged. Your donation will go directly to Angel Tree and qualifies as a tax deductible donation.
Important Note: There is a check box in the Shopping Cart that allows you to sponsor gifts for the care-givers of the children you are sponsoring. If you select this box, you are choosing to sponsor the care-givers at $42 each and each will receive only one $40 gift card. Rose Hill Church has not given gifts to care-givers in the past, but this has been done by some churches who work with Angel Tree. You are free to sponsor care-giver gifts if you wish, but do not feel obligated to do so.
Angel Tree Ministry gives us a wonderful opportunity to touch the lives of prison inmates and their children with God’s love at Christmas time. It’s much more than just a toys-for-tots program. It is designed specifically to help children know about the Heavenly Father who loves and cares for them, and to preserve and nurture the precious human family bond between parent and child that is so important to both of them. Each inmate parent has contacted Angel Tree to request that a Christmas gift be given to their child on their behalf. By participating in Angel Tree you help prison inmates maintain loving contact with their children, giving them incentive and hope to make lifestyle and heart changes that will help them to get out and stay out of prison. The children are thrilled to learn that parents who were so suddenly removed from their lives still love and think about them. And the children also have the opportunity to hear about Christ's wonderful and amazing love for them.
"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
