Holiday Reminders

As I write this over 700 hundred kids at Walter Bickett are very anxious. They will soon go to a special Christmas Presentation put on by our Kids Ministry and band. Then they will each have their very own Christmas party in their class room. There, they will have a wonderful party and then receive the specific gift they asked for a few weeks ago. Thanks Team Church for being a place that really does "team up" with others to make a difference. We are not just a church....We are Team Church.

Here are some more reminders as we head into the final days before Christmas:

1) Bring a friend this Sunday and on Christmas Eve.

2) A great Holiday tradition we have had for 9 years is that we honor our staff and volunteers by not having ANYTHING scheduled from Dec 25-Jan 1st. This is time to visit family, travel or just relax with family and friends that have come to town.

3) This also means that we DO NOT have a Sunday Service on December 28th.

4) Please give toward our Year End Gift by December 31st AND remember that we are not here on the 28th so please give your normal tithe this week or mail it in.

5) Don't miss our first service of 2009! I promise you....what you see happen in the first 5 minutes will set the tone for the rest of the year. DON'T MISS THE FIRST 5 MIN!

6) January 13th (7am -1pm) is the Team Church Blood Drive....it is the first of 10 community service projects we will be doing to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.


I look forward to watching the Mural of Hope be completed with you this week!
