WORKING ON THE MUSIC FOR CHRISTMAS DAY

Mountain View Ward Christmas Project

As a ward we are adopting 8 Refugee Families in conjunction with the

Holiday Giving Campaign 2016

International Rescue Committee

Look for Posters at the church and pick an ornament and purchase the gift listed in the ornament.

In regards to some of the larger items, Jeri Breshears has volunteered to collect money for some of the larger items that are cost prohibitive to some of us. If you'd like to donate $5 or $10 or more towards the purchase of a microwave or Walmart gift card, let Jeri know and she can purchase it as a group gift.

Ward Service Project Donors! PLEASE READ!

#1. The gifts are due Sunday, December 11 (at the absolute latest) but please bring them early if possible.

#2. Drop the gifts off at church near RS room or at one of the group leaders homes.

#3. If you took an ornament off the board of a gift to donate but did not write your name down in the book, please comment below of what you are donating.

#4. There are still gifts available. Bike stuff (lights, helmets), family games (chess/checkers, soccer ball), and gift cards. Check the other post for a link to the list.

#5. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Church Encourages “Small and Simple Acts” on

Worldwide Day of Service

“Serve anyone you want, any way you want” this December 1.

Christmas reminds us that Jesus Christ is the

“Light of the World” (John 8:12).

He also has taught us that “Ye are the light of the world,” (Matthew 5:14).

This Christmas, Mormon.org has invited us to commit to do the things that Jesus Christ did as He served others on this earth and by so doing, we will

#LIGHTtheWORLD”.

Each day leading up to Christmas

Mormon.org

has identified a different Christ-like behavior and provides suggestions of how we can emulate His perfect example on that day.

There are 25 different behaviors,

each one being assigned a day.

You can watch daily videos about each behavior at Mormon.org.

Imagine how we can grow more like the Savior during this Christmas season and

#LIGHTtheWORLD

as we seek to be like Him each day in December.
