This year the Christmas Eve Service will be at our sister church, Mt. Olive, at 6:30 pm.

Don't forget the annual Christmas Potluck Dinner on Saturday, December 10 at 6:00. Bring a favorite salad, vegetable, or dessert. The meat and drinks will be provided. After dinner there will be special entertainment presented by Janette Ogg and Albert Smith with other surprises you won't want to miss. Be ready to remember a Christmas past. 

Join us for caroling on Saturday, December 17. We will meet at the church to be ready to leave by 5:00. When finished, we will gather back at the church for a light supper. Bring finger foods to go along with the soup that will be provided.

The Mission Committee continues to stay busy during this holiday season. The committee arranges for church members to go over to the Mental Health and Recovery Center (formerly known as Our Family Center) to participate in some arts and crafts with the folks there. Recently they helped with making some holiday placemats. Just one more example of the kind of thing Pastor Kathleen was talking about in her sermon on a recent Sunday.

You know all those Thanksgiving bags, Samaritan Shoeboxes, and blankets that members of the church have been collecting and putting together. Well, they are being put to good use. Elwanda has been busy delivering blankets to CCAP, the Laurel Center, and the Salvation Army. Along with that she took 6 receiving blankets to Abba Pregnancy Center. She's taken Thanksgiving Bags to CCAP and more are being prepared to go to Hites Chapel Church to provide Thanksgiving meals to families of children at Middletown Elementary School. The Samaritan Shoeboxes are almost ready to be mailed out. Check out the November newsletter for all the other ways Relief is supporting the community through the Mission Committee. 

Don’t miss choir practice. New members are always welcome. Come join us on Thursday evenings at 6:30 for fun, fellowship, and singing as we prepare to share a celebration of our Lord through song.
