ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION PROGRAM TO BE PRESENTED ON FRIDAY, DEC.
5
Tammy
Deniro, program director, will present this program
to everyone whose lives have been touched through the
care of an Alzheimer's family member or to anyone who
would like to volunteer for this program. Individuals
who have an interest in beginning a WS Alzheimer's support
group are encouraged to attend this meeting from 10:00-11:00
AM in the Coffee House.
Each year White Station hosts an annual Cookies and
Milk event to benefit Agape Child and Family Services.
This year's event will be held on December 5 in the
Fellowship Hall. One exciting part of our evening is
the silent auction. Your help is needed in the following
ways: help your Bible class put together a theme basket;
ask local business contacts you might have to donate
items; sign-up for the bake sale; and sign-up to help
with the fun and games for the children in the Life
Center (sign-up sheets are now available in each Bible
class). You may bring all your items for the silent
auction to Theresa Jordan's office by Monday, December
1.
COFFEE
HOUSE CHRISTMAS PARTY- FRIDAY, DEC. 12
Come
and be treated to a Sing-A-Long with Leon and join in
a pot-luck luncheon - all beginning at 10:30 AM.
We need volunteers to help with the decorations.
A
Christmas tree is placed in common areas around the
White Station campus with ornaments on them. These ornaments
will not look like the normal trinkets we place on our
trees at home, but these ornaments are for special purposes
that the Church of Christ at White Station has chosen
to help this Christmas season. Choose to receive one
less gift this year, take an ornament off of the tree,
pray for the people you are about to bless, and then
follow the instructions on the ornament. The four causes
this year are:
The
Village of Hope:
 Purchase
a desk for the Village of Hope School
(return your check to the person working the Joy
to the World table or give to Theresa Jordan or Courtney
Garland).
The
Moses Coalition:
Purchase
educational toys for toddlers in the inner city
(return your
gift to one of the trees by Dec. 7).
Colonial
Middle School:
Provide
a memorable Christmas for a student and his/her family (return
your wrapped gift with the name of whom it is for and place
it under one of the trees by Dec. 7).
MUM
Christmas Store:Provide
toys to be sold to needy families in the inner city at a highly
reduced price (place
gift under one of the trees by Dec. 7 - see details below)
Loweinstein
House
Provide
gifts for mentally challenged adults
(place
gift under one of the trees by Dec. 7)
MUM
CHRISTMAS TOY STORE
Only
one more week before the toy donation deadline! Our church
is collecting new toys, $8-$25 in value, which will be used
at the MUM Christmas Toy Store. The deadline for donated toys
is this Sunday, December 7 ! This year, you
can also shop from the MUM Christmas Store gift registry at
any Walmart store or online at www.walmart.com/wishlist
. Just go to the registry kiosk, and use “MUM”
as the first name and “Christmas” as the last name. These
toys will then be resold at a highly discounted price to low
income families in the city. The MUM Christmas Toy Stores
allow these families to purchase toys for their own kids at
affordable prices without forcing them to accept another handout
that strips them of their dignity. Please leave the price
tags on the toys and do not wrap them . Don't
forget that MUM needs 3000 toys and gifts , so let's
help MUM by donating lots of toys!
