Putting our Faith in Action at the Christmas Program: We are asking you to get involved in the Christmas program in some special ways this year. First, we are encouraging each child to invite at least one friend to hear the Christmas story in a special way. Tickets are available at the Children's Welcome Center. We want to keep sharing his incredible news with everyone we can! Second, after the program, we will have some special family activities. In one area we will be decorating Christmas cookies to be delivered to some special friends and families we met during Faith in Action Sunday in September. To help with this, we are asking all families involved in the program to bring the following: If you have a girl in 1st - 5th grade, please bring a dozen sugar cookies to decorate. If you have a boy in 1st - 5th grade, please bring a container of white frosting. If you have a child ages 3-kindergarten, please bring a container of sprinkles.
