Tree of Life Report

Once again, our faithful volunteers at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville have participated in a meal service that serves those in need in the neighboring community of Purcellville. Participants prepared cornbread and cookies to accompany rice casserole, baked chicken, and green beans. In total, 50 meals were served every other month in the year of 2022 for a total of 300. In general, two to four volunteers transported the food to the Tree of Life center in Purcellville where they served the meals for welcoming families. A special thanks to the many people in our congregation who have given of their time and resources to make this program possible. Thanks to Vestry and Outreach for evening. In Fall 2022 several new families began to attend which brought six new students to Trinity Kids! Our focus was on The Fruit of the Spirit!

(Galatians

15: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness and Self-Control). Each week one fruit and accompanying Bible Story was taught to the students. The children packed “get well” bags for families in-need in November which led into Advent. The year culminated with the story of the coming of Christ. Children discussed what angels looked like, Mary visited by an angel, Joseph taking Mary to Bethlehem and the birth of baby Jesus in a manager in the barn! It has been a wonderful year! Thank you for your support!
