We will gather together in the Sanctuary for a time of singing, followed by a time of fellowship over hot cocoa, cider, and cookies in the Awana Room. We will be singing some of the students' favorite Christmas carols and everyone will have the opportunity to decorate a sugar cookie. Special thanks to Family Club for providing the refreshments for the evening. Feel free to wear your favorite Christmas attire or your coziest pajamas.
Christmas Party Day: December 20 from 8:10 to 11:30 am - This will be a fun day of fellowship with classmates, teachers, and room parents. All parents are invited to join us!
