Children’s Christmas Program
The Children’s Christmas Program is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 11th. This program is for children who are in preschool through 5th grade. Rehearsals will be each Sunday evening from 6-7pm through December 4th. Please make every effort to have your child/children at these practices. We have a lot of music to learn in a short time! If you have questions or concerns, please call me, Sue Norberg, at 605-595-5660.
Operation Christmas Child
Thank you to everyone who responded to the filler item collection. Your generosity has inspired us to do more. We will be having a shoebox packing party with the youth group.
We are collecting for boys and girls ages 10-14:
-T-shirts (youth L/XL or adult S/M)
- socks, hats and gloves
- small stuffed animals
- small toys and games
- drinking glasses
- sewing kits and tools
These are just suggestions, anything you want to donate is appreciated! All extra filler items will be shipped to the processing center.
Awana store
The annual AWANA store is coming up the first couple weeks of December! If you would like to donate gently used or new items that would make great gift ideas for clubbers to give to their family members during this time, please let us know. We are now starting to collect and organize for this fun night! Thank you!
Musicians needed
We're looking for musicians to play in the postlude ensemble after the Christmas program. Practices will start Sunday November 6 from 5-6 in the music room, #115. Please see Pam Fitch if you're interested.
