This Week's Announcements:
There are a TON of exciting ways to get involved at La Jolla Pres this month! There are Christmas programs for every member of the family, and we want to celebrate with you. Visit ljpres.org/Christmas to find a place to get connected and experience all this season has to offer.
The Mission Partner Catalogs are out and, you can view them online at ljpres.org/missions, or pick up a copy at the church. We want to help you discover unique Christmas gifts for your family and friends. Drop off your payments at the courtyard table on Sundays or at the front desk through Dec. 31st. Thanks so much for supporting our Mission Partners.
We have refugee families supported by our Mission Partners who have little means to celebrate Christmas. If you or your Growth Group would like to Adopt A Family for Christmas, or Fill A Bag with needed supplies (from cleaning to diapers to hygiene), please stop by the table in the courtyard this Sunday, or email Michelle Whitney at michellew@ljpres.org.
