 It's time for another photography assignment.  This one should be fun and easy.  Please share your favourite winter/Christmas photo with us.  Photos may be submitted throughout December and January.  The photos can be ones you've already taken or will take.  Please submit your jpeg file to Joni ([email protected]) as soon as possible.  Photos will be posted on the bulletin board at church, on our website, and on facebook, and whenever possible on the screen before worship services.

 We need your help on Sunday, December 16th!  Please meet Scott & I in the foyer between 9:30 - 9:45 am.  We are doing something special for the worship service.  We NEED everyone's help!  If you want to know what we're doing or what's happening please talk to me.  We just don't want to tell everyone (especially your parents!).  See you in the foyer!  Joni   [email protected]

 Our Christian Education Committee is pleased to say that we now have another set of pagers.  The first set of pagers is for use with our families who have babies in the Nursery.  The second set of pagers is for families in Sunday School.  Now parents with babies, toddlers and other Sunday School children may rest a little easier knowing that if you are needed you are only a "buzz" away!
