Thank you for ALL the support for Mrs. Claus’s Closetthis year. Every donation was appreciated. We had a great assortment of gifts for children to choose from. Many parents mentioned that their children asked to come back to shop this year. Thank you to everyone who showed up to help set up, help with the shopping, or to help pack up. This project takes many people and it couldn’t be done without PUMC’s support. Mrs. Claus will be back in 2025. The donation box will continue to be by the elevator at the south door.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”
