Happy New Year from the Children and Youth Department,

I want to thank all the parents and Children that participated in the Christmas program on December 20, 2015.

The Kids showed their skills on the bucket drums, and some did

recitations while the older kids performed a play

“A Super Christmas”

Cont. Inside

We saw some familiar superhero's, Wonder Women (Eva Frazier), Super Girl (Dynasty Willis), Spider Man (Kenric Ander-

son), Hulk (Maurice Williams), Batman (Elijah Frazier), Cat Women (Breonna Gabriel), Mary (Myla Williams), Joseph

(Noah Frazier), Shepherd (Nyshawn Evans), Shepherd (Nehemiah Evans), Voice (Ryen Lamar). We all learned that even

with all their super powers combined they could not save us. It took a baby “Jesus” coming into this world to save us from

sin.

Baking with Ms. Betty

December 20, 2015 @ 3PM. The

Children and Youth helped Ms.

Betty decorate cookies that were

consumed during the Christmas

Dinner. Over 15 kids enjoyed this

annual cookie baking tradition.

The Health and Wellness awareness ribbon for January is Teal.

By wearing this ribbon, it shows that we are bringing awareness to Cervical cancer in young girls.

Cervical cancer can often be found early and sometimes can be prevented by having regular Pap tests.

If detected early, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable cancers.

Some schools now require young girls to have a vaccine called Gardasil, but with the controversy surrounding this, it is

up to the parent to decide to make that choice.

As a result of cervical cancer treatment and the vaccine, some children may have certain birth defects.

Submitted by the Health & Wellness Team.

Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I

was a stranger and you invited me in”

This scripture exemplifies what providing a hot meal on Christmas Day is all

about. Showing the love of Christ to all those in need. Ms. Betty would like

to thank all those who

came out to help and make

this ministry special. Hats

off to Steve Cole for secur-

ing and driving the bus for

pickup. We were all truly

blessed.

Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 2PM the United Methodist

Women sponsored their annual Christmas Party. Sis. Gloria

Campbell was the MC for the afternoon. We started off with

some trivia questions, followed by a few questions to get the

group familiar with our tablemates (What was your favorite

Christmas gift and what was your least favorite Christmas gift.)

We then played a few games of Minute to Win It, the Candy

Cane Pick up and the Marshmallow toss.

We enjoyed refreshments, fellowship and Christmas

music. Finally ending with Christmas Carols and the annu-

al reenactment of the “12 Days of Christmas” featuring our

famous/infamous Lords of Leaping.

Start the New Year off right. Here is an

example tithing chart.

Those of you that have not filled out your

pledge cards will be receiving one soon, so

please be in prayer about your pledge for

2016.

Each one must give as he has decided in his

heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for

God loves a cheerful giver.
