There's still time to order poinsettias to place on our Advent/Christmas altar. You may give a poinsettia in memory of a loved one or simply wish the congregation a Merry Christmas. Forms are available in church and in the church office. A donation of $20 is suggested, but give as you can. If you are writing a check, please note Christmas Poinsettia in the memo line. You may also email Louise Bastille at elrevs@earthlink.net. or call her at 603.630.8804 with what you would like to say no later than Sunday, December 17.

CHURCH CHRISTMAS CARD

SUPPORTS THE CAMPERSHIP FUND

The Educational Ministries Committee invites you and your family to sign the Church Christmas Card. By signing the card, you will be reaching hundreds of church members without the fuss of buying, signing, and posting lots of Christmas cards. There’s no specific dollar limit – just what you would spend on mailing Christmas cards to church friends. 

All donations will go directly to the church’s Campership Fund. The Fund helps send Faith Formation kids to places like Horton Center on Pine Mountain where they experience God’s love in a caring community.  It also covers registration for youth to attend the Confirmation Retreat as well as the Regional Youth Event coming up in 2024.  

Sign your name, make a donation to the Campership Fund, and we take care of the rest!  See us after any worship service in the Pleasant Street foyer November 26-December 17. Or send your donation to the Church Office indicating in the memo line “Campership Fund” and email: CatherineTokarz603@gmail.com so we can add your name to the Christmas Card. The list of names will appear in the December Tower Tidings with Christmas Greetings. Thank you!
