The 6th Annual Christmas Tree Sale

Tuesday, November 27th, 2018

The 6th Annual St. JME Christmas Sale will take place on Saturday, Dec 8th from 8:30 am—4:00 pm.

100% of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to HIAS, an agency that assists newly-arrived refugees. Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh was attacked by a man who objected to their support of HIAS. St. JME stands with our Jewish neighbors in welcoming the stranger, the widow and the orphan.

We will also need volunteers to staff the sale. A sign-up sheet will be available in the social hall following worship. Volunteers are needed for two shifts (8 am—12pm; 12pm—4 pm). Thank you in advance for volunteering to make this special annual tradition a success! Please contact Gary Heard (glheard@yahoo.com) for more information.

To preorder a tree or wreath, email stjme@stjme.org

The church is located at 283 Prospect Ave. between 5th and 6th Avenues. The trees are picked up the day before in Pennsylvania, so they are super fresh. Christmas wreaths will also be on sale, as well as coffee, hot chocolate and baked goods. We also offer free tree delivery in the Park Slope/South Slope/Windsor Terrace neighborhood.

Details: Our trees will be either Fraser (short needles – skinnier, soft feel) or Douglas (longer needles – “bushier”) Fir. Prices: 4-5 feet, $45; 5-6 feet $55; 6-7 feet, $65; 7-8 feet, $75; 8-9 feet, $85; 10 feet, $100; More (specify) $100+. 20 inch wreaths are $16, 24 inch are $20, decorations add $6.00.
