Thanks to all who contributed and helped with Operation Christmas Child! Our Savior provided 85 boxes which were handily sent off to the depository by the Romines family!
The Children’s Christmas Program on December 16, was a great celebration with a re-creation of Los Posadas. Thank you to all who assisted. It is hoped that in this re-telling of Jesus birth, the children were able to really focus on how things FELT the night of Jesus birth and REJOICE in the JOY of His coming. We would like to especially thank Mr. Jack Hiegel, Mr. Scott Kamman, and Mrs. Lisa Smith for sharing their musical talents!
We would also like to thank Thrivent for providing the treats for the Children’s Christmas treat bags and for the bibles that were presented to the Third Grader’s in October. A special thank you to the Kamman ChristCare group, who under the leadership of Sue Francik, shopped and assembled the Christmas treat bags for the children.
On the 9th of December the Sunday School was treated to a presentation by Mr. Mark Schulz who shared about his trip to China. Thank you Mr. Schultz!
A THANK YOU brunch is planned to be held for the Sunday School teachers in January or February. Please keep them and the Sunday School in your prayers as we continue to serve our children and God in this way. The teachers were wonderful in helping the children learn their parts for the Christmas Program. |
Thank you to all the church members and families who participated in Operation Christmas Child. We will report on the number of boxes delivered in next month’s newsletter.
SPECIAL THANKS to all the students who sang at the November18th service and to Mrs. Crespo who directed the group. It was enjoyed by all!
CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM is scheduled for Dec. 16th at the 11 AM service. A practice for all Sunday School children will be held the morning of December 15th at 10 AM in the sanctuary. The children will be performing Las Posadas once again. Las Posadas translates to "lodgings", and is a traditional Advent/Christmas celebration in Latin America, particularly Mexico. It dates back more than 400 years to Spain. It is a reenactment of the story of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem and their search for lodging. You won't want to miss this memorable service. |
Sunday School continues to have great attendance! Thank you for supporting your children in this important aspect of their Spiritual Growth and Development. (Do you remember times when you were young and how it WAS exciting to see your friends at Sunday School on Sunday mornings?) This does not happen overnight, so give your child a chance to develop these relationships and memories. Remember, Sunday School starts at 9:45 in their classrooms. Please try to be on time and don't forget your bibles.
The chosen mission project, EACM FOOD PANTRY (which the church also supports) has been a SUCCESS! Our very own pre-school teacher, Terry Lindgren, is involved at the pantry and has been able to give us first-hand reports on how well-received our efforts have been in providing food and sundries for many Eastern Jefferson county families! We will continue to collect items throughout the year, and will have "focused" drives off and on. Basic staples like toilet paper, pancake mix, syrup, canned goods, and diapers are always needed.
Operation Christmas Child is soon under full swing as the collection dates are November 12-18. See the list of recommended items enclosed in this newsletter. Please peruse the list and consider bringing in any of the items and place them in the church office which can be distributed in the boxes. We pray that you and your family have been able to participate in this worthwhile event. Help your child's class win a prize, as a contest will be held determining which class produces the most number of boxes. Bring in a boy and a girl box, or several! The congregation will pray over the boxes and dedicate them at the 11:00 church service on November 18. If you and your family would like to help deliver the boxes that day to the distribution center, please let Leanne Hardin know.
MARK NOVEMBER 18th on your calendars to attend the 11:00 service! Three important events will be happening then. The first through sixth Sunday School grades will be singing. The Operation Christmas Child boxes will be prayed over and dedicated and the Third grade Bible Presentation will also occur. (Fourth graders present the bibles to the Third graders). Don't miss these fine traditions.
The Children's Christmas Service is set for December 16th at the 11:00 service. One rehearsal will be held Saturday December 15th. We have already started to practice for this, so it this is another important reason for your children to attend Sunday School. We look forward to having them!
God's Blessings,

Sunday School is off to a great start. Attendance has been terrific! We have changed the Opening to a Closing this year. So, Parents please send or take your child(ren) directly to their Sunday School classes at 9:45 AM as they gather for a Closing at 10:30 AM this year, which their teachers will take them to the Music Room for Bible Trivia, prayer requests, and a song. Please pick your child(ren) up at 10:45 AM in the Music Room.
We hope to add one or two more teachers to our staff. Please contact us if God is tugging on your heart to teach our Youth.
We intend to start Operation Christmas Child in early October. It is a worthwhile mission that helps many, many children...so start saving and wrapping those shoe boxes now.
The 3rd Grade Bible presentation will be Sunday, October 28, 2007.
We hope to bring our Sunday School children before the congregation in song this month. Please watch for the announcement.
Thank you for your continued support.
