Our choir will offer some special music, and Pastor Dave will be preaching. Refreshments will be provided!

• Church Steeple Fund Raiser: To raise money to offset this building project, the Building & Grounds Committee initiated the "Dedicate a carillon hymn/praise piece!" fundraiser. You can dedicate any of the songs listed in the new carillon to yourself or a loved one for just $10 each. Contact Rick Leasure for more information (739-2485).

• Mercy Center for Women/Children "Angel Tree" The tree in the foyer carries gift tags for women and children of the Mercy Center for Women (shelter services for battered or addicted women). The Deacons oversee this Christmas gift ministry from our church to these healing families. Please join in and take a tag (or more) and fill out your name on the sign-up sheets on the foyer table, then return the unwrapped gifts with the tags taped to them individually. Cash donations for those who can't shop can be given to Kim Ragen and the Deacons will shop on your behalf.
