Thanks for your volunteerism & generosity!
From ringing bells at Shopko for the Salvation Army to bringing Christmas gifts for the folks at Advocates—and from welcoming members of the Cortes family from Mexico to giving to our Christmas Offering—our church reached out a lot in December. Thank you! (The Christmas Offering will be split equally between Advocates and Mission Mazahua.
Watch your worship bulletin in January for a report on the total.)

of the Bell
Our total this year was $13,748.19. It is second to last year's record amount by about $600. All shifts are very important, but it was critical that we filled the last week before Christmas. We hadn't even reached $10,00 until Sat. December 17.
Thank you to all who gave their time to fill the schedule the last week. We raised a record amount for one week of $4556.17! The Champion bell ringers for this year were the Phil & Sherri Hughes family with five shifts. Honorable mention goes to Paul Tehan, Ed & Delores Wrathall with three shifts. We also had 13 people/families that took two shifts. Thank you everyone!
