Christmas Offering: This year we are going to take a special Christmas offering for ADRA in place of gifts for ourselves. (Adventist Development and Relief Agency International) The money will be matched—each $1.00 donated becomes $7.00 to feed hungry children. “Through God’s goodness, ADRA has a remarkable matching opportunity to help end hunger. EVERY $1 DONATED becomes $7! These matching gifts are often the difference between life and death for those who suffer from daily, excruciating hunger. Your gift will permit ADRA’S FOOD PROGRAMS to expand, thereby helping more people each day.”

We will take this offering on Friday, December 19. Several children have already been bringing in money. We have red and white stockings hanging on our Christmas tree which we’re filling with the offerings.

Thank you for your part in sending the delicious cookies on Thursday. We’ll update you as soon as we know the total for the cookie sale.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM: Thursday evening, December 18, at 6:30, our Christmas program begins. We are participating in a musical with K-6. Mrs. Short, our director, is asking that the students wear a white shirt and black pants/skirt. Each family is asked to bring a Christmas dessert to share in the fellowship after the program.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSUE & RIVERS: Both students will turn 8 just before December is over. Josue on December 30 and Rivers on December 31. We’ll celebrate after we return from Christmas break.

TEN COMMANDMENTS: I forgot to talk about the 10 commandments that came home last week typed out on a paper. I’m challenging the students to learn all of the commandments. It’s not a requirement but if a student can say all 10, he/she will receive something special as a reminder of those verses committed to memory. The memorization must be completed before the end of the school year!

We will take this offering on Friday, December 19.

I thought it would be good for the students to have a project that they can do to raise some extra funds for the Christmas offering. I’m proposing that we have a cookie sale on Thursday, December 10. You could make cookies with your child over the weekend, freeze them and then send them to school on the 10th.

We will make posters and advertise to the rest of the school. My plan is to sell one regular sized cookie for 25 cents. If the cookies are really small maybe they’ll be 2 for a quarter.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM: Thursday evening, December 18, at 6:30, is our Christmas program. We are participating in a musical with the 5/6th classroom. Mrs. Short, our director, is asking that the students wear a white shirt and black pants/skirt.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR! December 8 will be Taylor’s 7th birthday!
