ANGEL TREE
ABOUT ANGEL TREE® CHRISTMAS
Crossroads’ Celebrate Recovery ministry proudly hosts an annual Angel Tree Party for children with an incarcerated parent or caregiver. This event includes a meal, a Bible, gifts and a photo with Santa for the child’s entire family.
The choices that lead to a prison sentence, as well as the distance created by incarceration, can strain a prisoner’s family ties to the breaking point. At Christmas, the emotional pain of a loved one’s incarceration grows even more intense; the distance is felt by children and parents alike.
Angel Tree Christmas gives incarcerated parents a way to provide a Christmas gift and a personal message, delivered by caring, local volunteers, as a tangible representation of their love. Every Angel Tree family is also given access to a free, easy-to-read copy of the Bible. And Crossroads Grace, which embodies the hope and grace of the Gospel to prisoners’ families, may continue to minister to the family all throughout the year.
