A new daily devotional has been posted to the CCOG page of the YouVersion Bible app. It is only 12 days, so you can start any time that is convenient in this busy season. To find it, scan this QR code or use this link: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/25670-christmas-presence

This month, you are encouraged to Give of Yourself. This may mean donating toys or canned goods, helping at a soup kitchen or with the homeless, wrapping gifts for someone, setting out treats for delivery drivers, the list goes on & on. There were even more suggestions in last week's newsletter.

On Thursday, Dec 11, ladies of all ages are invited to Robbin's house for fellowship. Come at 6:30 with a snack to share, a gift of $25 or less, and a friend. Let myself, Sis. Joyner, or Robbin know if you need her address

It's almost time for the church Christmas party! Join us on Wednesday, Dec 17 at 6:30pm for lots of fun, food, and fellowship. Come with party food, party clothes, and a party mood as we celebrate the season together!

Though we will celebrate the season all month long, our Christmas service will be on Sunday, Dec 21. This is a great time of year to invite people who typically only come to church for the holidays. Communion will be this day, as well.
