LADIES’ PROGRESSIVE CHRISTMAS DINNER
Ladies of Nall, join us Saturday December 6th for the annual
Ladies’ Progressive Dinner. Sign up in the church foyer by
November 24th, so that we can make sure there is enough food
for everyone. This is a free event. We will have three stops
featuring great appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Meet at the
church to carpool by 5pm. Stops are listed on the flyer in the
foyer. This will be an excellent time for getting to know your
Nall neighbors and spreading Christmas cheer!
Congratulations to Nallie Chris Batz for completing the City
of Mission Police Department Citizen Academy this week!

ADOPT an ANGEL 2014
This year Nall will partner with the KVC
Adopt an Angel program and provide
Christmas presents for 6 children in foster
care. We will be buying several presents for
each child. Celebrating Christmas in all its
facets is important to helping maintain some
sense of normalcy in the lives of these
children, lives that have otherwise been very
disrupted. We can help love on these children
during this special season in a small way.
Women's Ministry Volunteers have selected 5
or 6 things from each child's wish list. These
gifts are listed individually on Christmas
ornaments hanging on the tree in the church
foyer. If you would like to participate, please
select an ornament and buy the item listed on
it. Return it unwrapped to the church lobby
on or before Wednesday December 3rd. You
can leave it near the Angel Tree. Please list
your name and the gift you have selected to
buy on the sheet posted by the tree. This will
allow our volunteers to track which gifts have
been adopted. Please also consider praying
for the child listed on your selected ornament.
*****************
Please call Angela Hoffman (785-418-2914),
Kendra Fischer (913-515-6012) or the church
office (913-384-3040) with any questions or
if you are unable to return the gift to the
church lobby by the due date.
