Caring Tree Program

Tree and Gift Tag

All of the tags have been taken off of the Caring Tree, so thank you!  Please have them wrapped and placed under the tree by this Sunday, December 13. Thanks for supporting this outreach ministry for children in our community.

Each year Halfway Creek participates in the Caring Tree ministry where gifts are purchased and given to those in our community.  The Caring Tree is setup in the narthex with “gift tags” on it. Tags have age, gender and item suggestion for each child. There are 2 tags for each child, one for clothing item and one for fun item. Gifts should be $25 or less; you can take one or more tags. RECORD YOUR NAME & PHONE NO. next to the child’s tag number on the clipboard. Gifts should be wrapped with the tag on them and returned to church between Dec 5-13. Thanks for supporting this outreach ministry for children in our community.

Fast Growth Grant

Writing, Laptop, Notepad

Halfway Creek has been named a fast growth congregation by our governing body in the La Crosse Area Synod.  Because of this we are eligible to apply for a grant that will help with the needs of a growing congregation including things like staffing and programming.  We will soon begin the process of brainstorming and writing that grant.  If you are interested in helping with this, please contact us.  We have to have the grant submitted by the middle of January so this would be a short term commitment.
