Dear Friends,
Each year at this time the Wardens, on behalf of the Vestry of St. Christopher's, continue a long-running tradition by asking members of the parish for donations to a “Christmas Purse" - a cash present from parishioners to the clergy and staff of St. Christopher's. This year our list includes Rev. Kevin Goodman; Rev. Bob Wyatt; our choir-master, Dr. Richard Sobak; our musician for children and families, Christa Creps; our formation leader, Jennifer Enriquez; Uziel Hernandez Martinez, our parish administrator; and Rosie, our Sexton. Please consider helping us in recognizing their hard work.
Christmas Purse donations can be made via cash, check or online donation, and we’re asking for these contributions to be made on or before December 22.
For cash or check donations, you can place it in the offertory plate, hand it directly to Jenn Urso, Deb Maue, or Marty Dunlavey, leave it in the church office, or mail to one of our attention at:
545 S. East Ave
Oak Park, IL, 60304
If you choose to write a check, please make it payable to St Christopher's, and indicate that it is for the Christmas Purse on the memo line. For cash, please place in a separate envelope and note “Christmas Purse” on the outside. For online contributions, note “Christmas Purse” in the comments. We will present the purse on Christmas Eve, around the evening services.
If you have a preference, please indicate how you would like your contribution to be allocated between the recipients; otherwise, it will be allocated according to the number of days each recipient worked. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas.
Faithfully,
Jenn Urso and Deb Maue
Wardens
