Children, youth and adults are invited to watch and/or participate in a "no-rehearsal" Christmas pageant telling the story of Jesus' birth. With costumes and narration you will experience the Christmas story once more.

Gingerbread Project - December 15th Deadline
Thank you to everyone who generously took one or more names from the gingerbread tree. The gifts are due back this Sunday, December 15th. Please do not wrap the gifts, but please place them in gift bags instead. If you need to bring them during the week, please be sure that Cheryl knows you have brought them to the office so that your name can be checked off the list. Thank you for helping make this a better Christmas for some PCHAS clients.

Christmas Joy Offering
We have an opportunity to give financial gifts that help many people we do not know through the Christmas Joy Offering. During this Christmas and Advent Season, we celebrate church leadership; past, present and future through support of the Christmas Joy Offering. We do so because church leaders greatly impact our lives of faith, walking with us down the path to be more like Jesus. We want those church leaders and their families who find themselves grappling with a critical financial need to have the resources they need which are provided through the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions.
We also support the offering to help our future leaders in the church and world, like those educated at our Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color. Supporting these students helps the whole church develop leaders who reflect the wideness of God's intended diversity. For those supported through the Christmas Joy Offering, this help is truly a gift from above.
We will receive the Christmas Joy Offering on Sunday, December 22nd. Please give generously.
