Right now, the need is: new pillows and pillowcases, new blankets, and hygiene kits (see the list on the Bulletin boards and the Welcome Center).

This Wednesday, December 22, we will have a special Candlelight Christmas Service at 6:30 pm in the church sanctuary.

Pastor David will also be telling how the story of St. Nicholas began and giving chocolate coins to any children present.

On the Welcome Center there are envelopes for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Lottie Moon was a single lady missionary to China over 100 years ago. She wrote letters challenging American churches to send more support and workers to mission fields. After her death, an annual offering for world missions was named in her honor. This is a free will offering, and every bit of the money raised goes directly to the support of international missionaries. Donations for the Lottie Moon Offering will be collected through Sunday, December 19th.

This Wednesday at 6:30 pm in our Bible Study series Getting to Know the Bible Better we will be looking at the book of Colossians. Our weekly prayer time will follow.
