Christmas Promotion and Prayer We have promotional pieces for you to distribute throughout the community tonight. Please think about the person you can build a relationship with and bring to the presentation in December. The life-changing power of the gospel message will change a person’s future for God’s glory. Begin praying for that person tonight and commit to doing your best to make sure they have the opportunity to hear about Jesus this Christmas.

Christmas Attire Men—Black pants, white long-sleeved shirt, red tie Ladies—Black dress or black pants or skirt (ankle length), with a black blouse (long sleeve)

Be a Party Host The Social Ministry Team needs hosts and hostesses for each monthly party. The Social Ministry Team provides the cake, drinks, and paper supplies for the choir and will assist you with preparation and cleanup. We are asking the hosts/hostesses to provide goodies and/or fruit for approximately 40 people. Sign up on the choir bulletin board tonight if you can help us host a party. More than one person can host the same month if you want to host the party together.

Worship Choir Vision 2019 Last year our choir officers and myself met and shared in discussions about the choir year and set some goals for the year. Some of the goals for this year include:

Increase enrollment and attendance by 20% during 2019 – (71 to 85 enr. Currently 83) (42 to 50 att. This month 56)

Provide at least two opportunities for the choir to sing/minister, outside regular church service worship leading – service projects; mission trips; concert opportunities

Continually stress the importance of personal spiritual development and growing relationships – to God, to other Believers, and the non-Believer
