Thank You! 

 

Thanks to our children and parents for your support throughout this Christmas season. The children worked very hard to learn songs and lines for the Christmas program. And everyone was amazing in providing food, packing Christmas baskets, and delivering them last Saturday to many grateful families. Extra gifts for children were included in this year's baskets because of your generosity.

 

And thank you to our carolers, for those who provided special music to add to the joy of the season! On that note: Do you love to sing? Are you interested in serving occasionally as part of an impromptu choir or singing group? If you'd like more information, contact Rebecca Hemker.

 

Year-End Giving

Thank you for giving to the Lord all through the year. Your generosity has blessed many families and individuals. As a reminder, if you're thinking of making a special gift to God's work at Antelope Springs or considering a donation to the Building Fund, this Sunday, December 25, is the last week to make your tithe and offering count on your taxes for 2011. Receipts for 2011 donations will be available in January.

Experience Christmas

 

Christmas Eve will be a traditional candlelight service that you and your loved ones will not want to miss. This time of reflection on God's gift of His son Jesus, singing the familiar carols of old and candle-lighting will begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at 8 p.m.

 

Christmas morning will be another time to celebrate our Savior's birth at 9:30 a.m. This is a family service, so only nursery and pre-K childcare will be provided.

Clothing Donations for Philippines

  

Recent floods in the Philippines have brought an urgent need for gently used clothing for all ages and sizes. Now is a good time to clean out your closets and make good use of the clothing you have been waiting to give away. Please bring items to the church as soon as possible, and mark the bag for "Philippines." Supplies will be shipped overseas in early January. If you have any questions, please contact Cecille Valoria.

 

Family in Need

If you are able to help a local family in need, we are seeking new shoes, sizes 2 and 3, for boys (skater-style would be ideal) or gift cards for shoes or presents. These items would be a Christmas blessing to a struggling family. If you can help or have questions, please contact Rachel Greenhalgh.
