† STORIES OF THE SAVIOR Please join us this evening for the Sunday School Christmas Program at 7:00 pm. Come and learn from our research teams how so many people, both from the Old Testament and the New Testament, have “Stories of the Savior”!

There will be refreshments for everyone to enjoy following the program. *Today we will have one last rehearsal during Sunday School and then celebrate with cupcakes!
† BELL RINGING Our LWML and the Youth Group will be combining to ring bells for the Salvation Army on Wed., December 18, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm, which allows plenty of time to get to the Advent service. They will be at the north door of Walmart. Please come out to support the Salvation Army as well as our LWML and the Youth; in fact they would love for you to join them in singing Christmas carols.
