Advent Workshop to Go!
This year watch for the delivery of our Advent Workshop Bags. Each is filled with Christmas Crafts, activity sheets and coloring pages. Along with the traditional Advent Chain, there is a family Reverse Advent Calendar. Purchase the selected food items when shopping. Each day of December put one item into a box. Bring your filled box back to church and we will donate it in January to help others. Christmas Giving Projects OPEN M Christmas For the Love of Children All 25 of the children were sponsored.
