​Our outreach project for the month of December will be to help a family in need from Indian Hollow Elementary School celebrate Christmas.  Kim will shop for us and is now collecting monetary donations.  If you would rather donate items see or email (by clicking on their name) Kim or Doug for a list for the children (a girl and two boys).  You may also click on December list if you would like to download a copy of the list.

Sunday, December 10, 2017 will be the last Sunday to donate gifts/funds for the December Outreach project.  Presents will be wrapped on Sunday, December 17, 2017 in the social hall at 10 a.m.

December Outreach Project Update

Once again, thanks to the generosity of our church family, we are able to help the family in need from Indian Hollow Elementary School celebrate their Christmas.  Thanks to all of you who showed up to help wrap presents.  Kim will be delivering them today.  Thank you so much for thinking of others especially during this time of year! ​
