Children & Youth Christmas Plans

A Special Christmas Gospel Presentation
Many of you have been wondering what we are planning to do about our usual Christmas program. At this time, out of consideration for the safety and crazy schedules of many of our families this season, we are not having a standard "program" as in previous years. However, we do still want to give our children and youth the opportunity to contribute something meaningful and special to our Christmas services! Read the flyer below for instructions on how you and your family can get involved.
(Sunday school will still meet as planned between services on Dec. 20th for a special all-ages lesson & Christmas celebration. Advent resources and devotional materials will be provided in the weekly emails throughout the season for you to use at home as well.)
