Our Theme for Advent: "I am a Gift to Jesus."

Community Outreach: No later than December 14th ~ please bring gifts for the girls and boys of Overby-Sheppard School. New items including socks, hats, gloves, sweaters and underwear, sizes 5-14. Please do not wrap the gifts. Place in the collection box next to the Jesse Tree.

Pennies for Haiti: The large penny jar is now next to the Jesse Tree. Any coins you drop in will be donated to The New Jerusalem Orphanage in Haiti.

Nativity Scenes: Needed before December 21st ~ If you have an extra Nativity set at home that will fit in a church window, please consider lending it to the church for Christmas. It will be returned after January 4th. A sign up sheet is in the vestibule.
