Christmas Candy
I will soon be able to determine the top three sellers (who will receive a lovely prize for their efforts). We did not sell enough to totally cover costs and distribute rewards for helping out in the kitchen, I can offer those helpers a $10 coupon to use for youth events. Those who sold candy will still receive the money they earned to be used for any youth event/retreat/trip. Thank you to everyone for your hard work!Parent Meeting!!
Sun Jan. 10th, 6:30-8pm

Brereton Manor Outreach
This Saturday, Dec 19th, 1-4:30pm
There’s no better way to celebrate God’s gift of Christ than by giving to others.

We'll return to the church to do a couple projects around the Youth Room/office and finish by watching THE NATIVITY STORY with hot chocolate and popcorn. Meet at the church.

Encounter,
Sundays 10am-11am in Youth Room
Connect everyday into the presence of Christ by exploring what it means to follow Him. We do this through small groups, video clips, discussion and reflection on Scripture. Small breakfast snacks provided.
This past week we learned about the prison system, remember our need for humility, grace and compassion even for inmates. Recall Jesus' words in Matthew 25 that calls for us to visit the prisoner and treat him as if we were meeting with Jesus. Thank you to Paul Commero for sharing his experience of prison ministry. Sunday night we made 143 cards to be delivered to inmates through the Justice&Mercy organization.
