Plants will be available for pick up from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. on Sat., Dec. 7, and Sun., Dec. 8, at the church.  The poinsettias cost $13 for a 6-inch plant, $19 for an 8-inch plant, and $25 for a 10-inch plant.

Sun., Nov. 24, 11:00 a.m., Social Hall. - Youth will participate in the Advent in Advance event in place of Youth Group. No youth group that evening. Volunteer or participate. Email Monica Lewis to sign up.

Youth Group will not meet in December. Instead, plan to attend the following Christmas parties and enjoy time with your family in this busy season.

Sun., Dec. 8, All-Church Caroling Party. All youth are invited to participate in the caroling party and chili dinner at 5:00 p.m.

Sun., Dec. 15, Hope House Service Project. We are hosting a holiday party for the residents at Hope House. We will have lunch in the Social Hall at noon and then leave at 1:00 p.m. A guest speaker will be here from Hope House to tell us about the organization. Families are encouraged to attend. Instead of dropping off your middle of high school student for this event, plan to stay and join us in hosting the party for the Hope House children and moms. The party will be from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and then we will return to church. Students can be picked back up at 4:30 p.m. if families do not attend. Please RSVP by clicking on this link.

Sat., Dec. 21, CYF (9th-12th grade) Christmas Party, 5:00-7:00 p.m. Get together with old and new friends as we celebrate Christmas! Join us at the Jensen's home for a cozy night of playing games, drinking hot chocolate, and listening to Christmas music from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Their address is 8505 Reinhardt Lane. With all of the transition that has happened in this program, this will be a time for you to relax and just enjoy your time together. We hope this will be a time that everyone can join us, whether or not you have been coming to church lately. We want to see you!  Please bring a wrapped gift for under $10 for a white elephant gift exchange (the more hilarious, the better!). RSVP at this link.

Sun., Dec. 22, Chi Rho (6th-8th grade) Christmas Party, noon. Come celebrate the season! Get together with other middle school students for an afternoon of ice skating at Crown Center Ice Terrace.

Each participant needs to bring a signed permission slip to the event. RSVP at this link.
