Also this will be our “Give Away the Plate Sunday” and our offering will go to the Volunteers for Youth Justice School Uniform Drive.

Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

Instead of our usual religious education classes for children and youth, we will have a holiday-themed movie day for a fun and relaxing break from class activities.
