An opportunity to help provide Christmas toys for military families

We are collecting new unwrapped toys (infant – teen) for enlisted families to give to their children for Christmas. We partner with Military Outreach Ministries to offer a Christmas Toy Store for the enlisted families to shop, free of charge, for their children's presents.

We'll be collecting toys on Sunday mornings and weekdays through December 16th. For more information, contact Michelle - michellew@ljpres.org

There is a new Advent Art show in the La Jolla Pres gallery. Stop by the Life Center hallway and see some wonderful art inspired by the Advent Sermon Series.

This art was all created by members of our congregation. We've got a lot of talent in our midst.

Blood Drive Sunday, December 12th, 8:30am - 1:30pm in SunHouse.

You can save a life when you give blood. It's quick and easy, and the return for someone in crisis is life changing.

The Blood Bank will be in SunHouse all Sunday morning, and you can make an appointment here.
