Welcome to the Christmas season everyone! It's kicked in full gear now and I hope everyone is taking time to slow down from all our shopping and running around to sit and embrace God's Grace. We have lots of fun events going on over the next few weeks starting with our class Christmas Party this Friday Night at the Sanders home. Even if you are just visiting our class, come and join us. It's always such a great time and fanstastic way to get to know others in the class. Food details are below. Don't forget to bring a White Elephant gift for the exchange (see details below). Also, our Holiday class project will be to help clothe the children of the Russian Orpahage the Fowlers are adopting their daugther from. Please bring unwrapped NEW warm children's clothes (tags must be on), coats, and shoes to the party THIS FRIDAY. They will be collecting them there and will be bringing them to Russia next week. If you need a few days, they will be leaving for Russia on Tuesday. The Mens Breakfast is this Thursday and the Ladies will be having their Ladies Night Jewlery Exchange again this year at the Sanders Home. Details below.
