Road to Resurrection Candy and Door Prize Donations Needed!

Support our mission to those neighborhoods surrounding Gideon Drive by donating candy to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Road to Resurrection! Candies will be put together into goodie bags this year, so size requirements are no longer limited. Please bring them to the front office 9-4 M-Th, the atrium on any Sunday morning, or contact Tara for pickup. For ease of contributing, an Amazon Wish List for ASC is also available, with shipping directly to the church office, provided at this link.

At the Road to Resurrection there will also be a Door Prize Drawing offering special gifts for children. If you would be interested in donating a brand new gift item for children, such as a bicycle with helmet or scooter(s), Easter stuffed animals, yard games, or any other treasured childhood toy, please contact Tara Pedersen at
tpedersen@allsaintswoodbridge.org or by calling 703-670-0093.
