Volunteers from St. Paul’s Anglican Church and Trinity United Church in Uxbridge, shown above, transform St. Paul’s lower hall into a winter wonderland for a successful fundraising event on Nov. 15-16, the same weekend as the town’s Santa Claus parade. The event included 12 Christmas trees that were decorated by local sponsors and included gift cards and other treats. Other sponsors had a choice of donating a fully decorated Christmas wreath or a gift basket. The tree decorations, wreaths and gift baskets were later raffled off to raise funds for the churches, which split the proceeds 50/50. St. Paul’s will use the money for its outreach programs while Trinity for the building of its new church.
I experienced a ‘warming of the heart’
