Help us buy sheep for a family in Ecuador! Our KidMin Advent service project is raising money to buy a sheep (or sheep) for an impoverished family in Ecuador through Heifer International. Children are collecting coins at home each week and would love to help collect your loose change too. Sheep provide an impoverished family with wool to make clothes for their own family with enough leftover to sell to others and provide additional income. Heifer International encourages recipient families to pay it forward by giving any offspring to others in need. Since sheep often have twins or triplets, our gift will help multiple families!
On December 17 we will have our Youth Christmas Party from 3:00-7:00 PM at the church. The festivities will include our Annual Ugly Christmas Outfit/Sweater Contest, The Christmas Goose Chase, Jamey's Stupid Game (Christmas Edition), Christmas movie, great food and more. This is a great opportunity to invite those folks that are in grades 6-12 to be a part of something special.
United Methodist Student Day is today and is one of six church-wide Special Sundays with offerings of
The United Methodist Church. United Methodist Student Day calls the church to support students as they prepare for life in uniting faith with knowledge. The special offering provides scholarships for qualified United Methodist applicants.

Sunday School Class at 9:00 AM Advent Study. This book began as a sermon series of Adam Hamilton’s in 2016, and now we have the opportunity to see and hear portions directly from Adam by way of videos we will use during class in conjunction with the book. Each of the videos are roughly 10 minutes long, so there will be plenty of time for open discussion. The class meets in the Parlor which is upstairs by the sanctuary near the north doors.
KidMin has made sheep Christmas tree ornaments! They are now available for a suggested $5 donation. You can find them in Servant Café.
The Choir Cantata will be Sunday, December 17, during worship. You don’t want to miss it!
The Hope Chest is in the midst of giving out holiday meal bags along with a $10 gift card. We have given out almost 100 meals already.

Stop by our room and see the list of most needed items on our door. God Bless.
