Gifts & Offerings

For those who wish to honor our commitment with a gift or offering, we would especially appreciate home-made or second-hand gifts.  Below you will find a wish list and several gift registries, as well as a list of Amherst-area stores.  Instead of wrapping gifts in traditional wrapping paper, we would like to suggest the idea of using peices of fabric which can later be re-used in our home!
