Photos from Christmas Eve

All of the Sunday School youth and teachers would like to thank everyone who was able to join us on Christmas Eve for our Sunday School program! We all had a great time together celebrating the birth of Jesus...the real reason for the season. We also would like to thank everyone for their generous contributions for the offering that evening. Because of all of you we will be able to send a large amount of items to the 153rd engineer battalion who are deployed.

If you weren't able to join us on Christmas Eve here is a little sample of what you missed.

Angel Tree Gifts and Caroling

Had a great morning/afternoon with this great group of kids! Snow wasn't going to stop our fun!! Thanks to our amazing church members at Immanuel Lutheran and Thrivent we were able to buy 17 angel tree gifts for kids and then 4 angel tree gifts for senior citizens. All the shopping made us hungry so we ate at Godfathers and then went Christmas caroling at Stoneybrook & then Armand & Lenora Peskey's. We planned to make a couple other stops caroling, but with the weather we decided we better all head home. Thanks again for supporting our youth and helping them with this great cause!
