Well the Christmas Season has begun. Where did the year go? The following post will give you information on all the details for Spirit of Christmas. Hopefully this will answer all of your questions. New this year is a room dedicated just for kids 10-17. I don’t know how they did it but Renee and Michelle talked the High School ministry into taking ownership of this room. There will be games, food and activities in room 203 for this group. Guess which room I’ll be hanging out in?

THREE WAYS TO GIVE
SHARING your time by volunteering: A volunteer can serve for the full time, 8:00am-1:00pm, or they can serve just for a short amount of time. The best thing to do for someone you can’t stay for the full 5 hours is to ask them to write down on the volunteer sheet what hours they are available. The following is the areas that we need help in: Food preparation and servers Greeters Tear down and clean up teams Children’s activities: arts and crafts, face painting, etc Santa’s helpers Set up team for Friday December 7th, 2:00pm until done.
LOVING the children of Door of Faith Orphanage. We are collecting donations of socks and underwear for the children. All donations can be turned in at the Church Office or the Community Care tent during the weekends. Deadline is December 8th.
GIVING a stocking filled with toys and gifts is an easy and much needed way to help. We are in need of stocking for four different age groups. The list of suggested items and age groups is available at the display in the Lobby. The biggest need for stockings is for the age group of 10-17. This group always seems to be forgotten each year. Deadline for these items is December 2nd and donations can be turned in at the Community Care tent or the Church Office.
We all know that the week leading up to Christmas is very busy with walk-ins. If you can hang around during this week and hold off taking time off this will really help with the influx of people needing help. We will also need spare stockings filled with gifts for this group of people coming in for help.
