As you prepare for Christmas, we want to let you know of several

opportunities for giving through our church and community so that you may participate in those you choose.

Christmas is a time of giving! In that spirit, the Sunday School is sponsoring a Tree of Love. You will find the tree in the kitchen foyer.
Each foam ornament represents a person and a Christmas gift. As God leads you, please take an ornament from the tree and return it
with the designated unwrapped gift to the church office by December 13. Please keep the ornament with the gift so it goes to the right person.
Thanks for caring!

The Christmas Offering this year will go toward an audio visual system upgrade to improve our worship
services and radio transmission. Offering envelopes for this gift will be available during the month of December.
