December 11 Weekly Update

 Remember to invite your neighbors to the Christmas Breakfast on December 10th at 9:30 a.m.

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS

If you want to make donations for families in our ward who have needs for Christmas, please do so by purchasing gift cards from such places like Target, Walmart or other stores where the gift cards will allow the families who receive them to buy a variety of items that they need for their family members.

 

Please purchase these gift cards in smaller dollar amounts such as if you want to donate a $100, buy four $25 cards instead of one $100 card. Please give these cards to the Bishop or his counselors. They would like to have them by Saturday, December 10th so the Bishop can get them to the families who need them in time for them to go shopping.
