MISSIONS 
Thank you to everyone who came out to donate at Lifeline Blood Center last week! We had seven donations recorded for our church which means 21 lives were saved! Great job!
Families in Need
On Christmas Eve, we took up a special offering for our Families in Need account for the 2023 year. We use this fund to help members of our church and in the community with needs as they arise such as utility bill assistance, motel rooms, summer camp registration fees, etc. If you would like to donate towards this fund, please notate "Families in Need" in your giving.
Bring in the New Year with us in the Children's Wing!

ADULT MINISTRIES
Ballroom Dance Class
The ninth Ballroom Dance Class will meet on Saturday, January 7th from 6:30-8:30pm in the Mezzanine. All are welcome to attend even if all they want to do is listen to the music and socialize. Those attending are asked to bring a light refreshment to share. If you would like childcare please let Gabby Maxwell know by January 6th.
Book Club
Our book for January 18th will be Lesson in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. It is set in the 1960's with a brilliant chemist, Elizabeth Zott, who becomes an unlikely cooking show host as she struggles for a place in the man's world of scientists. You will enjoy this laugh out loud book. Pattilu Raper and Gayle Crocker will lead our discussion. 
Starting in January, we will meet in the mezzanine. We have outgrown the space of the conference room. Because of the move, we will not have the option of lunch. Please feel free to bring your lunch or a snack as we share our books. The day will still be the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 11:00. Hope to see you there, and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
