WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?
Hiskidz & Deep Blue
As we move into the Advent and Christmas season, our Sunday School lesson this week tells the story of Elizabeth and Mary. Both of these women had been sent a message by God. He sent word that
they would both have a son. Both women trusted God and knew that He was at work in their lives and using them for His plan. God has a plan for each for us, and we must remember He is always at work in our lives.
“A Day of Christmas Cheer” will be held on Wednesday, December 19, at 9:30 a.m. for the children in Grades 1-6. Please send $5 with your child to help with the poinsettias. We will begin our day by visiting Martha Coker Green Houses to deliver poinsettias and sing. Then we will return to the church for lunch and a time of baking Christmas cookies and candy. We will also make fun ornaments to hang on the Christmas tree. If anyone would like to help with this day, please feel free to volunteer and contact Tera Smith.
