AWANA Family PotluckOn December 12th, families with children in the Awana program are invited to a Christmas Potluck. The church will provide the meat and drink and we're asking for each family to bring a side dish to share. The potluck will begin at 6 pm in the Fellowship Hall. We will not have the regular Awana schedule, rather we will eat and fellowship and the kids will get to spend their Awana bucks in the Awana store.
