Outreach Spotlight: Festival of Three Kings

Nov. 15, 2007 Haley Smith

Festival of Three Kings - Volunteers Needed!
During the Christmas season, Trinity is provided the opportunity, through the Angel Tree, to participate with Urban Ministry and other churches to give toys and clothing to children in Birmingham whose families have been identified by the Department of Human Resources as needing assistance. The Festival of Three Kings, the culmination of your giving, is a one day event during which the children are entertained while the parents receive the gifts for their children.

This year the Festival of Three Kings will be December 8, 2007 at the Harris Arena of the Fair Park in Fairfield from 1 to 5 PM.  Volunteers are needed at Trinity on the evening of December 7 to help load the gifts into a trailer for transporting the next day to the arena. On the day of the festival, your help is needed to help greet the families, entertain the children, (games, food, music and crafts are part of the celebration), or help the families to load the gifts into their cars.

Times needed for volunteers are:
• Friday, December 7th at Trinity, 6 PM
(to load angel tree gifts onto trailer)
• Saturday, December 8th, 8:00 AM
(to help unload and organize gifts at Fairgrounds)
• Saturday, December 8th, 12:45 PM
(at Fairgrounds for volunteer orientation)

Trinity’s participation in the Festival is being coordinated by Kali Barney (979-3801 or 902-8794) and Elizabeth Myers (978-9331 or cell 753-0540). Please contact them and volunteer your time to help with this effort. It is a great way to catch the Christmas spirit!
