Lights of Life

This Sunday at EYC we will be wrapping our items for the Christmas giving tree.  Please make sure that all of the gifts are here by Sunday morning for the 11:00am service where they will be blessed.

Following our gift wrapping, we will be heading to see the Lights of Life in Kennesaw.  I am still in need of a few parents to drive.  If you are interested in doing this, please contact Lauren.

Peace,

Sunday School Teachers Needed

Hey everyone!

I am in need of a few more sunday school teachers for both the middle and high school groups.  I have worked out the schedule to where you would only have to teach about one Sunday a month.  

If you do not feel comfortable teaching you can be an assistant in the classroom.  I need 2 adults in each room. 

Check out the curriculum we are using at www.livingthegoodnews.com

I promise this will not require much of your time and it would be highly rewarding and greatly appreciated by our youth.

If this interests you then give me a call at the church office or shoot me a quick email at lauren.wainwright@hotmail.com

Peace,
Lauren
