"Coming together to know Christ and make him known"

Supper at 5:30 followed by a service of singing and decorating the sanctuary at 6:30 led by our Confirmation Class. We'll serve Pizza King pizza, Chick-fil-A nuggets, tossed green salad & Christmas cookies for dessert.  We would love for you to sign up to help us with a general head count so we know how much food to purchase. You can also call the office 903.234.0032 or reply to this email to sign-up.
