Christmas Offering: Again this year we will be raising money for the hungry through the ADRA program. I just received the flyer in the mail telling of the match program where every $1.00 contributed will be extended to $7.00 for the feeding programs they operate. It’s a fun way for the kids to watch their contributions grow rapidly. We will have a cookie sale on the first Friday of December.

November 21-25 Thanksgiving Break
December 2 Cookie Sale to raise money for an ADRA mission project
