Carols & Cookies on Kansas in Dec. 7. We have an AMAZING amount of cookies that have been donated! If you haven't brought yours in yet, please try to do that by the 5th. They'll be bagged up on Friday the 6th. Kathy & Bruce Graham lead the bagging and are looking for a few extra folks to help bag them up. Let me know if you can help Kathy & Bruce!

Since November isn't quite over yet, let's all keep in mind our November Mission...to prepare for White Gift Sunday on Dec. 8!
