- CAN YOU HELP ON ‘WREATH DAY’? I brought samples of our Christmas wreaths to Ascension on Sunday and enjoyed inhaling the aroma of fresh pine and Frasier fir. All orders must be in and paid for by 11.25 (this Sunday) as I call Premier Foliage with our totals on 11.26 and they will be delivered for collection on Sunday December 2nd. We need a big team, youth and parents, especially between 10:30-11am and between 12:30-1pm, to greet parishioners, check the order list, bag up wreaths, hand over etc. To sign up and choose a slot, please use this link! A special mention goes to the Forster clan who were the best dressed and most helpful family last Wreath Day!
- Talking of Prizes. Currently Team Micah, Oren & Zeke are on track to share a $60 Amazon Gift certificate as those who have submitted the most completed orders worth a total of over $300. But I am sure a lot can change in these last five days! And you can always add online orders, inviting friends and neighbors to specify which youth helped them! Do so with this page!
- Overnight Before Christmas. Prizes will be awarded during the dinner, and we will see the new Christmas Movies made by our high-schoolers, who also hope to write a new Christmas song this year! To see last year’s winning movie, click here. While registration for the Overnight is closed, I am extending the sign up deadline for the *Christmas dinner* as I don’t want anyone to miss the festive fun, fab food and singing. Do so here by the end of November!
- Charleston. The early bird discount for this awesome summer trip expires in TWO DAYS TIME so get in now. Follow the links.
- But before then – regular CAYG continues for High School on 11.25 but there is NO MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP on 11.23 (Friday after Thanksgiving… and also my youngest daughter’s birthday!)
- Play & Exploration. CAYG leaders are invited to join Dave Bindewald from https://www.playandexploration.com/ on Saturday January 12th. You must RSVP here.
Looking forward!
