Sunday, Dec. 3, 2017
- Sunday School – No, it’s Communion Sunday, please attend service with your family.
- Youth Group – Yes! The parking lot will be full due to a preschool program, please tell your youth to go straight to the youth room (#144).
Last Sunday many church members and their families had a great time decorating, fellowship time and sharing a meal together.
Welcome Home Breakfast Sponsored by Youth
On December 17 the Youth will host a Welcome Home breakfast for our college-age kids and their families, as they come home for the holidays. We will work on setting this up during our 9:30 Sunday School hour and the breakfast will be offered at 10:30 in the fellowship hall. Please sign up here to help provide items for our breakfast. Please have your youth help you cook, as they should be “hosting/providing” for a group that they will be a part of one day. So start thinking of your favorite breakfast casserole recipe (crockpot easy or in a dish).
Youth Ice Skating & Christmas Party 
On Dec. 17th ALL YOUTH will meet in the Parker Library at 2:00 PM, upstairs in Event Hall B. Students need to bring 3 items 1) a party snack to share or a plate cookies 2) a wrapped gift no more than $10 in value OR a nice gift (worth fighting over) from your home they may no longer want 3) And $7.50 for ice-skating AFTER our party. Students MUST be picked up no later than 5:00 from the Ice Trail/Library. I will also need a few parents to visit with, I mean, help with the party/supervise skating! Let me know – thanks!
Youth Sunday Drama Sign Up 
Yes, it’s time again to prepare for a Youth Led Sunday! Students will be participating to help run the entire service at 8, 9:30 and 11. We’ll need greeters and ushers, singers and this year a drama team! No lines to memorize, and it will be easy – as most of the group is acting/reacting together. It will all be set to music – I NEED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE! If your student is interested in being a part of this powerful message, please sign up here, so I can begin communicating with the team.

New Youth Calendars
When you come to church for Christmas Eve, grab a new calendar from the top shelf of the Youth News Rack (in the Narthex). If you’re out of town, grab one in January. They’re always lime green.
