Breakfast with St. Nick

We are happy to report that our Breakfast with St. Nicholas raised over $500 for The Caring Place!  We also gave them plenty of hats, scarves and mittens from the "warming tree".

We'd like to thank everyone who came out and supported us-we had a great turnout!

We would especially like to thank those of you who provided donations for the meal and to those who cheerfully worked to make the event happen!

We pray that you all had a Jesus-filled Christmas and we welcome you to worship with us on Sunday, December 30th at 10:00am.  We will only have one service that day and there will be Sunday School for ages 2-5 only.  Of course, the nursery will be available, too!  

Christmas is coming....

As we prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth, we want to remind you of what we have planned for the children in the next 10 days....

This Sunday, December 23rd, we will have Sunday School, as usual.  Of course, the lessons will cover the Christmas story, which we love to hear, no matter what our age!

On Christmas Eve, our Family Service is at 6:00 p.m.  The Children's Choir and Youth Choir will be singing and the Praise Band will be leading worship.  Ms. Erin Utesch will be telling the Christmas story and the children will be invited to sit around her as she does so.  All of the children will have the opportunity to hang an ornament on a Christmas tree during the service.  At the end of the service, during "Silent Night", the children will return to their families and we will "light" candles (battery operated).  It will be a beautiful service and we would love to have you join us!

The nursery will be available during all three Christmas Eve services-a description of each can be found on our website.

Finally, on Sunday, December 30th, we will have one worship service at 10:00am.  There will be no Sunday School that day (except for 2s & 3s), but the nursery will, of course, be available.

We wish you hope, peace, joy and love this Christmas season!

During our 9:15 service on November 18th, ten 3rd grade children received their Bibles after attending 8 weeks of class.

After the presentation during the worship service, all of the Sunday School children celebrated with them:  we had cake and ice cream and watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.









We appreciate the time and efforts of our teachers and the support of the parents, who brought their children to church each week to attend the class!
