UPDATE!!

More updates...SURPRISE! ;)

December 16th: 5 Steps to the Nativity 'play' at the church. Adults- we invite you to come out between 5 & 7 and walk through the scenes that build up to the Nativity. Following your 'tour' through the Christmas Story head down to the fellowship hall for a free soup bar. Invite your friends!! Youth- if you're involved make sure to be at the church ready to go on time!!

December 24th: Christmas Eve Service at the Church. Come out and celebrate with us as we prepare our hearts for Christ's birth!

January 6th: Parents of youth going to Resurrection, youth going to Resurrection, & chaperones- make sure to join us for our 'pre-Resurrection' meeting at The Bridge. Make sure to bring all of your forms. Remember, they MUST be notarized. If you can't get them notarized, there will be a notary at the meeting! If you can't be there let Chris know ASAP!!!

Youth Girls: Be on the look out for updates concerning a girl's day out over Christmas Break. 

Youth Guys: Be on the look out for updates concerning a guy's day out over Christmas Break.

We want to thank everyone who came out and ate Ham with us last Sunday! We are so appreciative of everyone's support. You all helped us make a HUGE dent into our expenses for Resurrection!!

We also want to thank everyone who was involved in the Christmas Parade! We had several parents and several youth and children come out and help us get the message of Christ's birth into the community!

Lastly, we are so proud of our youth who came out this afternoon to purchase items for two kids from the angel tree! We are so thankful to have such an active group of youth!

Thats it...for now.
