Messiah Child Development Center’s Christmas Program
MCDC and the ECM action team would like to invite you to the annual MCDC Christmas Program on December 11th at 11am. Please plan to join our MCDC families and their relatives for this event beginning at 11am with a luncheon following. If you plan to attend the luncheon please RSVP to Kelly (mcdckids@messiahlutheranholt.org). We are also looking for volunteers to help out with this event. For the Christmas Program, we are looking for volunteers to greet, mingle and share in the joy that this season brings with the MCDC families and their relatives, and, of course, enjoy the Christmas Program! This is a wonderful way to reach out to these families and show them what our Messiah family is all about, and support these children in their journey to have a relationship with our Lord. To support the Luncheon, we need assistance with setup and cleanup of the luncheon tables and chairs. Please contact Julie Smith or Joan Schneeberger if you are interested in helping! We hope to see you there! Youth Haven Children’s Party
Volunteers are needed for the Youth Haven Children’s Party on December 15 and 22 at 12:15 p.m. A sign-up sheet will be in the narthex. The dinners at which we normally serve are filled. Contact Jerry Smith for more details. |
