Youth All Nighter


Saturday, November 22--It's a party all night long! We'll start at the church at 6pm with a Chili Dinner (bring your pennies to vote for your favorite) and your choice of two holiday movies: It's a Wonderful Life or Elf. Then we'll head off to the bowling alley for some cosmic bowling. Finally, we'll come back to the church for a night of games, hanging out and having fun. Sleep? Maybe. We'll conclude with worship and Sunday School on Sunday morning and be done by 11am.
If you'd like to participate, click on 'comments' below this post and leave your name, shoe size and favoite snack food. Sign up by Thursday, Nov. 20. Please bring $10 and a snack to share.

Operation Christmas Child Project

Can you imagine having no gifts to open at Christmastime? It's hard for us to think about, but there are kids all over the world that live in families that can't afford Christmas gifts.

That's where you come in. On Sunday, November 9 we're going to stay after the 10:30 worship service, have pizza for lunch and help pack shoeboxes full of toys, candy, school supplies and more to be sent to some other area of the world for kids who would otherwise have no Christmas gifts.

Between now and then, go by your favorite 'everything store' (Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar Tree, etc.) and pick up some small items that could be added to the boxes. Bring as many empty shoeboxes as you can find, and come help us reach our goal of 100 boxes! For more information on suggested items, visit the Operation Christmas Child website.
