MISSION, S.D. —Tree of Life Ministry unleashes a new logo. The new logo, depicting a tree with a red branch, illustrates the grafting of Native Americans into the tree of life and the roots spreading the water of life, Jesus the Christ. The traditional medicine wheel colors surround the tree.  Check out the new logo on the Tree of Life Ministry website.

Are you looking for the right Christmas gift?  Consider giving an alternative gift in memory or to honor a loved one.  “So many are in need at this time of the year, everything from diapers to personal care products to non-perishable food items to coats socks and boots,” said Linda Garriott, director of Tree of Life ministry.  “It is so expensive to mail things to Tree of Life, so how about ordering on line and having it shipped directly to the Tree of Life?  It works well for all, you know what you are giving and the Tree of Life can quickly distribute the items to those in need.”

On December 20, Tree of Life will hold a Christmas brunch. There will be a special visitor from the North Pole, who will distribute Shoebox Christmas gifts from Dakotas Conference churches.

“We would like to say thank you to everyone for donations on Giving Tuesday and to the Bishop's Thanksgiving offering. The children of the Rosebud will be blessed by your generosity," said Garriott. “We wish each of you a blessed Christmas and hope to see you online or in person in the new year!”
