This week we learned that the angel told that baby should be named JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".

The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be EMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"

Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US and to SAVE US!

If I don't get enough helpers we will not be able to bake and the room moms will need to plan another service activity.  Please let me know by Monday so we have enough time to come up and prep another service project.

The room parents are bringing in lunch for us.  We will have pizza, fruit, and a drink.  

Friday December 16 is BOBCAT SPIRIT DAY!!  Wear your Zion shirts with standardized bottoms.

For the hundredth day of school I will need 100 cereal boxes.  Please save your boxes and send them in to school.
