Giving Grove

Every Christmas season we partner with a number of agencies and individuals to help those who are in need.  You can help make someone’s Christmas a bit more merrier by purchasing a gift(s) for a needy infant, child, family, unhoused person or senior. Each gift should be in the $25 -$40 range. Tags are available on the Giving Grove Trees in the church lobby starting Thanksgiving Weekend,

If you would like to ADOPT a FAMILY and purchase the gifts for all the children in one family, please contact Robin Spurlock by the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving.  Phone: 831-465-3381 / Email:  robin@tlc.org
