Carline Safety: Please keep your child safely buckled in their car seat until you've reach one of the spots where we get children out of the car. You do not need to get out of your car- the carline greeter will get your child out. It is a good idea to place your car in "park" so that your car does not roll at all during this busy time.

Boca Helping Hands Thanksgiving Collection will be November 6-10. They appreciate non perishable items such as stuffing, boxed mashed potatoes, canned gravy, canned green beans, or applesauce in plastic jars.

The Legacy Closet/Heroes Hub Share Week Collection

The week of November 27-December 1 is your opportunity to clean out those gently used toys your child no longer uses in preparation of Santa's visit. The Legacy Closet in partnership with Heroes Hub is also happy to receive gently used clothing and household items.

A Night in Bethlehem

The First United Methodist Church is hosting a night in Bethlehem on Saturday, December 16 in the Gathering Place. Students in Threes, Fours, and Kindergarten are invited to sing at 5 PM. Everyone is welcome to this family event. More information soon.
