your Christmas cards to your fellow church members by using our mailboxes located in the Education Building, on the other side of the library. And, at the same time, be a blessing to our Lottie Moon Missionaries as all funds received go to this fund.Simply address your cards with

recipient's name only, place cash or check on top of your cards at 10 cents each, rubber band them, and place them in the regular looking mailbox and raise the flag. Our volunteers, Pennie and Mary Jackson, will make sure all funds are turned in and will distribute your cards into the correct cubby hole. Of course, if you prefer, you can distribute them yourself.

“Principle #2 -- Embrace Your Position”Who is the main provider for your home? According to the Bible, God is! (Phil. 4:19) He is Jehovah Jireh; you are the steward, the manager. That is great news! You worship the Creator of everything and He is willing to equip you with time, talents and treasures to manage. When you embrace your position as a steward, you are exercising faith in God as your provider. Learn more about stewardship and live a truly blessed life!

“Reception Affection | Thank you!”“I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver” 1 Chronicles 29:3. Join us in praise to God and thanks to those that generously gave to our “Reception Affection” project! Our Church Office Reception Area needs some repair and we are about to begin. We’ve been blessed by: a volunteer planning team, business owners who are sacrificially donating time and materials, individual givers and an anonymous donor who gave a $3,500 gift! We have raised 85% of our goal. Please consider a special gift of any size; we need $750 to complete funding. Thank you!

The Champion of Choices School Program focuses on many timely and significant challenges that students of all ages experience daily, including: peer pressure, substance abuse, suicide, bullying, choosing the right friends, and goal setting. Many students can relate to Marc’s story about growing up in a broken family and dreaming of a better future. Marc’s early athletic successes were sidelined during years of rebellion, substance abuse, and bad choices. Even as he was gaining

success and fame as a professional wrestler, Marc continued to make choices that negatively impacted his personal life and career. Following a series of personal tragedies including the loss of more than 30 of his friends and family members and while reflecting on his life’s accomplishments and hardships, Marc was compelled to create a program that would allow him to reach out to students and encourage them to live compassionate, fulfilling lives.
