School Resumes
Children's Christmas Program
Wednesday, December 15th, the school children lead the Advent worship service at 9:00 AM and again at 6:30 PM. To create the optimal worship experience at both services, we encourage those who are able please attend the morning worship service. This will help alleviate overcrowding in the evening service. If overcrowding does occur in either service, worshipers may sit in the Ministry Center and view from the screens as it is live streamed. Those who plan on staying home will be able to watch the live stream broadcast through YouTube. What a blessing to be able to worship our newborn King!
Holly Jolly Christmas Store
Holly Jolly Christmas Store is next week and PTO is still in need of donations. They especially need gently used or new gift items for men and older kids. They also need bows and tape for wrapping presents. Donations can be dropped off in the box at church or the bins at school. Deadline for donations is Wednesday, December 8.
PTO is looking for volunteers to help work the store (shoppers, cashiers, and wrappers)and also with set up/clean up. 
If you're able to help, please click here to sign up!
