Church Christmas Program
 Please join us this Sunday at 5:30 p.m. in the sanctuary for our annual Christmas Concert. |
Come Help Decorate the Christmas Tree
This Saturday, December 13 at 3:00 p.m. in the sanctuary, helpers are needed to decorate our Sanctuary's Christmas tree! We use Chrismon ornaments, which are symbols of Jesus' life, the scriptures, and the church's teachings. Everyone is welcome--we need taller helpers to string the lights up high and shorter helpers to make sure the bottom branches get decorated, too! Any questions, contact Marsha Eubanks.

Dinner and dessert will be provided. Youth should bring a snack or soda to share (leftovers will be added to the youth room food closet) PLUS a wrapped 'white elephant' gift for a fun exchange. |
