CC Middle School December 2007 Schedule

Hi Parents,
Here is a rundown of the December schedule. There will not be youth group on Wednesday nights this month (or this Wednesday, Nov. 28), instead we want the middle school students to help out at the Parent’s Night Out and the Why Christmas dinner. There is also a Christmas party on Dec. 15 that is explained in more detail below. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the holiday season!

December Schedule

Parents Night Out – Sat. Dec. 1st – 5:30pm – 10pm at the church.
We take care of kids while their parents are given a night out to go shopping, go on a date, etc. It is a Christmas theme with games, crafts, music, food, and lots of fun. Donations go toward the HS and MS mission trips.

Why Christmas DinnerTuesday, Dec. 4th – 5:15pm – 8:30pm at church
