Advent has begun and the Church Library has set out a new display for Advent and Christmas for children and adults. At this wonderful and busy time of the year, we hope you will read some Christmas books to your kids, but don’t forget to check one out for yourself too! Merry Christmas from your Church Library!

If you are in fourth grade or older, please consider being part of our new handbell team. Practice will begin on Thursday, January 10, from 5:45 – 6:30 PM. We will meet every week in the choir room and ring during worship once a month. Please call Mrs. Hummel if you are interested in being part of this exciting activity.

The Youth Group will be hosting their annual Cookie Exchange on December 16th after church. If you would like to contribute, please drop off your cookies in the social hall before services that morning. All donations are greatly appreciated! If you just want to take some cookies, that’s okay too! Please bring a tin or container with you to collect some cookies. Thank you!

From time to time, we at the Church Library display a variety of books or other items that are “NOOS.” It may be a variety of books, DVDs, CDs, kids’ books, etc. “NOOS” means “New On Our Shelves!” Did you guess that? Some books may be newly released, and others may be donations of older but interesting items, so take a look…
