Coming Up

Good morning,

Here are just a few reminders about things we have coming up in the near future.  December is a busy month so be ready!

1.  This Saturday, December 3rd, we are going shopping in Columbus and then to the Zoo lights. We will be meeting at the church at 10::30 am and heading to Tuttle mall.  While at the mall, you can shop for anyone.  If you would just like to "window shop" that is fine too!  Then you will need to eat dinner at the food court before leaving around 4:30 pm to head to the Zoo to see " Wild Lights".  The evening will then end with us returning home around 9:30 pm.  Please bring $12 for the zoo lights and any money for food/shopping that you may need.  This will be a great day!  IF you are planning to go, please make sure Matt knows no later than Wednesday (tomorrow).  If there are any adults who can go, I am still in need of some chaperones.  

2. Since we will be at the Zoo lights and Shopping on Saturday, there will be NO youth group this Sunday as indicated on the original schedule.

3.  On December 18th, we will be having our Christmas Party and "Living Nativity".  This is a Sunday night, however both youth groups will be combined and we will share in a small gift exchange.  Please plan to bring a gift that can be purchased for $5 or under.  Dinner will be served and we will then participate in the living Nativity.  To give us a little more time this evening, please plan to be at the church from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm.  Make sure to dress for the weather.  

4. THIS IS A DATE CHANGE:  On December 21st, we will be partnering up with our Snack and Learn program as well as our soup kitchen to have a small Christmas party for the kids at Lincoln Park.  As you may have noticed on Sunday, we are having the congregation pack shoeboxes to distribute to the kids.  Since few of us have school this day, we figured that middle of the week may be better than another Saturday event in December.  Here is the plan: 

4:00 pm - Meet at the church to cook/ pack up

5:00 pm - Leave for Lincoln Park/ set up

5:30 pm - Have crafts for the kids to make (with our help)

6:15 pm - Serve dinner

7:00 pm - Distribute shoeboxes

7:30 pm - Return to church/ clean up

8:00 pm - Finished

I think that is all for now, if you have any questions don't hesitate to call or email.

In Christ, 

Matt Ballentine
