Our sanctuary continues to be joyfully decorated with beautiful poinsettias for the Advent Season. The poinsettias are provided from your donations. in memory of precious loved ones. If you would still like to donate a poinsettia, your donation can be sent to our office at: Palm Spring Presbyterian Church, P. O. Box 582, Palm Springs, CA 92263. Please include a note with your donation letting us know it is for the Poinsettia Fund and the name or names of your loved ones you hold in precious memory.

The nurses will provide our donated toiletries to individuals in need residing in homeless encampments. Your donations can be dropped off at the church office on Fridays between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
