Please bring in your new hats and gloves and hang them on the tree in the fellowship hall during the month of December.  Put your new or gently used coats in the red tub. These items can be taken by any teacher who has students that could use them or if you have a friend that needs something, please feel free to take it for them.

The Lucky Few by Heather Avis is a nonfiction book in our church library. It is the story of a couple that chose to adopt 3 children, two of whom have Down syndrome and serious heart problems. They quickly discovered that God’s best for their lives would be found in the most unlikely places. It is a story about family, adoption, special needs and most of all it is a story about faith.
