Adopt an Angel Trees: This year Divine Redeemer families have the opportunity to share the joy of Christmas with inner city children involved in the Gifts of Love Program. The “Angels” are made by Dayton Duehr and decorated by students from Divine Redeemer Lutheran School. Pick up an angel from one of the Christmas trees located in either the Fellowship Hall or Cafeteria. Simply take the angel off the tree, shop, return the wrapped package with the angel securely attached no later than Sunday, December 14th. What a wonderful way to show our love, care and concern for those children as we celebrate the gift of the newborn Savior.
