Truth Lutheran Church Adopts Christmas Family
 Every year Truth Lutheran Church provides Christmas for an adopted family.  As soon as a family has been selected, we get the names of family members and wish list for each individual in the family.  Church members then purchase gifts for the individual family members.  Additionally, a gas card may usually purchased as well as a food card. 
  This year a family of 12 was adopted.  Each family member received three (3) gifts.
  Truth Lutheran Church was formed four years ago.  Congregation members at that time felt the need to return ten percent (10%) of tithes and offerings to the local community as well as the larger community throughout the state and nation.  The Christmas Family tradition is just one of the many ways in which benevolence dollars are disbursed.  Additionally, the congregation has supported the Soup Kitchen, Food Pantry, Red Cross Red Kettle campaign, Battered Women's Shelter, and families in the area who have suffered hardships such as a home destroyed by fire.
