It’s the most wonderful time to work with the most wonderful team. Thanks for being the greatest crew of volunteers in history.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: GIFT TAG CHALLENGE
This quarter, we’re getting families to pay it forward with their gifts. Help your kids identify different things they can do! 

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: CHRISTMAS CITY
This month, we’re getting kids and families together to celebrate Christmas — around the world style! Mark your calendars! 

ADD YOUR OWN DATES: VOLUNTEER NEW YEAR’S PARTY
Let’s celebrate the holidays with a little fun, food, and friends! Come hang with us. There will be games, presents, and zero meetings.

JOY TO THE WORLD: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT ON CHRISTMAS
WEEK 3 BIG IDEA: Jesus came to bring peace to the world.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

What are your go-to Christmas traditions? It’s amazing how different all of our Christmas celebrations can be, especially when you take into account how Christmas is celebrated all over the world. This month, we’ll be reminded what a universal gift Jesus is, and how Jesus brought good news, joy, and peace on that very first Christmas so that the whole world could know God!

Have you noticed that we spend more time stressing about the holidays than actually enjoying them? Give yourself permission to think outside the box about how you want to celebrate Christmas with your family this year. Go ahead and pass on making a gingerbread house or putting up a tree and try some of the ideas in THIS BLOG to focus on making memories together!

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
