HELPING HANDS CHRISTMAS FUND - This wonderful new fund is replacing the annual Giving Tree project. It will be financially assisting five of our member households that are in need. This year instead of having to shop and buy products for the families in need we are asking you to prayerfully consider financially helping these households during this Christmas time. Contributions can be made using the envelopes provided which are next to the offering plate. Place this in the offering plate. Contributions will be accepted thru Sunday, December 15th. Your donations will be turned into gift cards for the households in need. Helping Hands funds will also be supporting this project. If you have questions please see Debbie Beffrey or Sue Finkbeiner.
CHRISTMAS BINGO!!! - Last year the youth had LOTS of fun bringing you Christmas Bingo. They will be doing it once again on Sunday, December 15th during Adult Bible study. Be ready to laugh, win and have great fellowship time.Â
