Pumpkin Collection for Farm Critters

Drop off your used pumpkin (whole or decorated) to Glen Mar after you clean up your Halloween decorations. The wonderful family that loans us farm animals for Journey to Bethlehem would love to have them for their goats, sheep and cows, who will munch them all down. Drop off near the pile of bricks out back.

Family Christmas Eve Services, Dec. 22 at 2:30 and 4:00 pm

Looking for you!  Any elementary, middle or high school student interested in acting, reading or helping with behind the scene help, contact Margaret, Jen or Sean.  Any adult interested in acting, reading and behind the scene help contact Pastor Melaina.  Our theme this year is “The Light of the World”.  We have a super fun skit that will weave through-out the services.
