White gift Sunday Dec. 5
Advent ! Preparing the way to Christmas.
December 5
White Gift Sunday The tradition of wrapping food in plain paper to share this time of year is as old as this church.
As the needs and culture changes, not everyone needs a box of stuffing. So, on December 5th we collect your white envelope or e-transfer marked “white gift” as we prepare to feed 45 families this Christmas through Project SHARE.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
10:00am Sunday School begins singing and praying together in the sanctuary. Rev. Cathie Ellarby will then lead the children to the gymnasium to discover together the stories of the prophets. We have purchased a program with craft materials prepared and kept sealed and separate for each child. Everyone eligible will all be fully vaccinated, wearing a mask and distanced.
Vaccinated if eligible, distanced and masked in church and Sunday School.
Sunday School through Advent will also provide some time to prepare for the Christmas Pageant on
Dec. 19 at 10:00am

BUILDING COMMUNITY
Teen Committee will be using the Boxes we are building with to prepare Hygiene kits this winter for Gateway and Project Share to distribute to people living in the streets or coming in out of the cold. You are invited to contribute to the boxes that the young people will prepare.
We will pack as may boxes as we receive supplies to fill
for up to the 99 boxes we have for the 99 names of God.
That is a lot!
What would you want to find in a box?
Washcloths, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, body wash, brush, comb, deodorant, elastics, sanitizer, hand wipes, lip balm, stretch gloves /mittens. . .
