Monthly Collections

Our November collection is Soup and Crackers

School.  We are collecting every month
Feminine Hygiene Products to be placed in the
large Soup Can.  In December we will collect
Hot Cereal for the first three weeks so that food
can be delivered prior to Christmas.  A table will
be set up on the north front side of the
sanctuary for donations. Don’t forget about the
coupons to help purchase these items.
Domino Club

Every Friday we will be having our Domino Club
at the church in the Cook Room at 1:00pm

you are invited to bring them with you.  All are
invited.  Please come and enjoy the fellowship,
and bring your friends.

to participate.

They are divided up by categories.
Also, if you receive coupons in the paper or

Journey with Adam Hamilton as he travels from Nazareth to
Bethlehem in this fascinating look at the birth of Jesus Christ.  
Using historical information, archaeological findings, and

moment in history.  We follow the footsteps of Mary, Joseph, the
shepherds, and others, gaining insight into
our own journeys with Christ.

We need volunteers to fill various roles, including:
greeters/servers to arrive at 5:30, setting up and then
helping serve the people who come and also,

have the meal ready to eat at 6pm.
Folgers for Soldiers
      
      We are collecting coffee (size 10.8 oz.) in a variety of
