ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 7

DECEMBER BAND – Lost and Found – Leader: Fran Griffin   **Please keep in mind that fellowship is meant to be a simple, easy act of sharing time together. Snacks provided are welcome to also be simple and easy.

ADVENT SERVICES continue this Wednesday. A light dinner is served at 5:30pm and a short service follows at 6:30.

IF YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE A POINSETTIA for Christmas services, please bring them to the church and place them near the altar. All colors welcome…thank you!

LIVE NATIVITY:  Bethany will be hosting a live nativity THIS SATURDAY from 1pm to 2pm.  If you are interested in striking a pose and playing a character (wise men, shepherds, angels), or being a part of the caroling group, please contact Becky Olson.  We will stand in place, outside, for one hour so patience is a requirement.  The event is free to the public.  There will be a bake sale and Christmas quilt silent auction from 11am to 3pm to run alongside this event.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES AT BETHANY:  Kids’ Program during the service on December 21; Christmas Eve Service at 7:00pm.
