Volunteers needed!

Several volunteers are needed once a month on Sundays for the nursery during the Bible Study hour. Please let Bridget know if you are able to help.
ARBC Children will be singing on December 16 during worship! If you would like your child to participate, please plan on having them come to the Advent Workshops so that they can practice with Dr. Combs.
Our children will have a special Christmas party on December 9 after worship. Lunch will be provided. We will play some games and create some gifts for parents or grandparents. If possible, please send a photo of your child with them on that day to be used in creating a special keepsake. Please register with Bridget if your child will attend.
Live Nativity
We will host our annual Live Nativity on Friday, December 14 at 6:30 pm. The presentation will feature stable animals, a reading of the Christmas story, and sing-along carols and hymns. After the presentation, everyone is invited to stay and participate in the One Starry Night interactive event, where you will experience the sights and sounds of Bethlehem. We will also have cookies and hot chocolate. This is open to all ages!

Volunteers are needed for each station to welcome guests and walk them through the activity. Please let Bridget know if you can help.
