Happy Thanksgiving!
From Patricia . . .

To My Deerbrook Friends and Family,
   
AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC!!!! 
   
Those are all descriptions of this past Sunday as we presented "The Orphans' Wish". If anyone ever felt like a queen, it was me!!! How very special you all are and how very generous. The many gifts, cards, and personal well-wishes I received are greatly appreciated and totally overwhelming. I have been so blessed as God has used all of you to inspire and encourage me during these past 10 ½ years. 
   
May His goodness and mercy fulfill you every day of your earthly life,  until we are blessed to meet in the heavenly home He has prepared for us. With much love and gratitude for sharing your precious children with me,
   
Patricia

Homemade Christmas Cookie Swap
Sunday, December 6, 2015

Invite your friends and neighbors...the more the merrier!

            Christmas Cookie Swap
            Sunday, Dec 6, 4:00 pm

Bring 4 dozen of any kind of homemade Christmas cookies (please, no store-bought). You will leave with 4 dozen cookies, different from those you brought. Each person will get 4 of everyone else's cookies. If you make candy, bars, fudge, or mini cookies, please combine a few to make the serving equal to a 3- to 4-inch decorated Christmas cookie. Trays will be available for your cookies. Include the recipe if you choose to share, but it's not required.

*** Please note if your cookies contain peanuts. ***

Please bring an unopened package of cookies to donate to Pro Deo for the holiday season.
Langsford House Party

It's that time of the year again for the Langsford House Boys Home Christmas party, Saturday, December 19 from 12:00 till 3:00 pm. Check out the table in the back of the sanctuary to see how you can help. Take an ornament off the board and bring the gift to church by December 13. This is a wonderful way to show God's love to these young boys and their families. We need a lot of volunteers to help with cooking and serving. Any questions, call or email Terri Wear at 816-606-1041 or terri.wear@gmail.com.
