Carlos Leon sent me this information about Small Groups. Five Reasons a Small Group Will Help You Grow by Chris Morton 1. Jesus' Way of Life Cannot Be Learned Alone. 2. Support Encourages Change. 3. Relationships Lead to Sharing. 4. Mission Happens in Small Groups. 5. Small Groups Take Church Beyond Sunday. http://www.exploregod.com/five-reasons-a-small-group-will-help-you-grow#sthash.pR8orCgE.dpuf Thank you for your part in reaching out to the children of the world. Please continue to pray for the children and for those that work on and deliver the boxes from here. YOU MAY STILL HELP if you wish by giving an offering in the next couple of weeks. Simply designate on an envelope "shoebox". THANK YOU to all who had a part. These are 5 good reasons to be a part of a Small Group. The Elders are wanting to get our Small Group ministry back on track and want to offer a few new groups beginning in January. Maplewood Church Children's Christmas Program December 21, 2014 Rehearsals: Every Sunday morning, during the worship service, the children will be practicing with Mrs. Dharma Leon and their Sunday school teachers. Props and Help: We will need help borrowing some props and setting up Friday, December 19 at 5:00 pm If you can help, please contact Dharma Leon at 473-2503. Props needed by Sunday, December 7: artificial Christmas tree with stand and lights only Christmas stockings to hang on mantle (one per child in performance - 15) Nativity figurines with baby Jesus able to be removed from the manger. (This Nativity scene needs to be big enough to be appreciated by the audience yet sturdy enough for kids to handle the figures without the fear of breaking them.) Green, red, and white tissue paper - lots tree ornaments (unbreakable) Someone to prepare cookie dough for sugar cookies ready to be used with cookie cutters the day of performance on stage. Kids will actually help make cookies on stage. (No baking, just shaping.)
