Advent Packets
Families are invited to pick up an advent packet in the Welcome Area. This is a resource we like to make available each year as a fun way for parents and kids to engage in the advent season together. The packet is designed to be used in conjunction with the Jesus Storybook Bible, with assigned readings for each day of December and an ornament template to cut out and hang on the tree.
Young Adult Christmas Gathering
Young adults (ages 18-29) are invited to a Christmas Board Game Night at the Calvis home on Saturday, December 11th at 5:00pm. There will be hot cocoa, cookie decorating, and of course, board games! Feel free to bring a snack to share, a friend, or your favorite game. Ugly sweaters are encouraged! Please direct questions and RSVPs to Ariel Rosenlieb.
Parkside at Prayer
All are welcome to join us for this time of dinner and prayer on Sunday, December 12th at 5:00pm in the Lower Level. Together, we'll share a meal and then spend some time in prayer. We'll be doing things "pitch-in style," so please bring a side or accompaniment for soup and salad! Please RSVP to Matt if you plan to attend.

International Friendships has compiled a list of 75 students representing 12 different countries who would love to receive a personal invitation to a meal or holiday activity with your family or friends. If you would like to extend an invitation to one or more of these students, please contact Jonathan Putnam.
