Children’s Ministries:

No Alive @ Five Tonight. We start back January 10 with classes and a parent meeting.

Calling all 6th graders (and older kids who may have missed it)! Confirmation Class starts in January. This is an opportunity for kids to explore the meaning of Christianity, Methodism, and think about the ways a Christian can make a difference. Confirmation parents should definitely come to the parent meeting on the 10th to learn about schedules and upcoming events.

Youth Ministries

Tonight from 5pm to 7:30pm the youth will have a movie night in the youth center. We will be watching the movie “Elf!” There will be plenty of popcorn, chips, dips, and other snacks! Bring a friend who doesn’t have a church home!

Church Ministries and Opportunities

Do you have a Sunday School class? If not, the new year would be a GREAT time to start! Talk to Sue or Vee and they’ll have ideas for you on how to pick a class.

Sunday there will be an Administrative Board Meeting at 4:00

Church offices will be closed December 24 and 25.

Year-end Giving? Jolena will work until 4:00 on Thursday, December 31.
