Youth Group News:

Youth Group News…Hate to throw away those used ribbons and pine cones from the wreaths and crosses that you purchased?…donate them back to the Youth - they will gladly accept them. They could also use more Christmas Decorations…ornaments, garland, tree toppers, tree skirt, white clear non-LED lights, wrapping paper — and ribbon for next year’s wreaths & crosses - watch for the after-Christmas sales. Your donations will be greatly appreciated! Thank you to all who have contributed to “Toys For Tots”.
