Christmas Program: We hope that you have all made plans to join us Wednesday, December 12 at 6 pm in the church for our Christmas Program. We are asking that the children arrive to their classrooms at 5:30 and that you help them put on their costumes before heading to the church.

Community Baskets
Each Christmas, as a church and school, we put together Christmas baskets for families in need in the community. Baskets include food, small Christmas items, a gift card to Safeway and a children's Christmas book. Each class is asked to bring different items to put in the baskets. We would love to have our preschoolers and their families bring in small Christmas items to add cheer to the baskets. Items like decorations, mugs, hot pads, ornaments, kitchen towels, etc. are perfect. Many items like this can be found in discount sections at stores or at the Dollar Tree. If each family can bring a few items it would really make a difference. We will be collecting these items in the preschool big room through December 17th and will be putting together 100 baskets on December 18th. Thank you so much for being a part of the Our Savior community and for helping those in the Livermore community.
