The shopping trip originally scheduled for this Saturday has been cancelled.  Rainbow Village has changed some of the plans for the shopping.  They are arranging for the children to shop online instead of going in person.  Once they children have purchased their gifts online, we will pick up the gifts and take them to Rainbow Village.  If you have any questions please contact Linda Reid (via email).
     Thanks to everyone who helped provide gift cards this year!

     TRY-OUTS:  If you would like a speaking role, try outs will be held the next two Sunday mornings (12/13 and 12/20).  Then we will have a rehearsal for all those who have a speaking role on Monday 12/21 from 11;00 am until 1:00 pm. 
     There is NO rehearsal or try out for those not having a speaking role.  So if your child wants to be an angel, shepherd, star, animal, etc.  they do not need to attend the try-out or the rehearsal.  They simply come Christmas Eve between 3:45-4:00 pm and we'll help them get into costume.  All children ages 3-12 are welcome to participate in the pageant. 
     A HUGE thank you to Lonna Stachelczyk for coordinating the pageant this year.  If you have any questions, please contact her (via email).

 

     This year's Christmas Party is this Sunday, December 13, from 5:30-7:30pm. We will have a tacky sweater contest for middle school, so come tacky! Don't forget your potluck dish here, and your gift for the exchange ($20 max). Please don't forget to bring either and avoid peanuts in everything!
     FOR HIGH SCHOOL: Y'all voted it a black tie affair last week, so come in your Sunday best. Easton and Keith will be in suits, so no pressure.

      Thanks for the generous food donations in November! A total of 288 pounds of food was collected and provided to The Place of Forsyth County. Thanksgiving and Christmas mean so much to all of us and are certainly times of the year when we consider all of God's blessings. Won't you please help us share with others in order to bring joy into the lives of those in need this time of year? We will be providing December's donations of non-perishable food to The Place of Forsyth County, collecting food each week leading up to the 3rd Sunday of the month (December 20-Breakfast Sunday), which is the official collection day for the month. As always, the biggest needs are for canned soups and vegetables, canned pasta (ravioli, Beefaroni, etc), canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, and anything that can be stored for a long period of time. Donations can be placed in the tubs located next to the welcome table in the narthex-no glass bottles, please. Please begin or continue to help in this effort to assist local families in need-thank you!

     Join us on the 3rd Sunday of every month for a wonderful parish breakfast provided by the Knights of Columba!  The cost is only $3 per person and $10 max per family.  Our next breakfast Sunday will be December 20.  All are welcome!
