Hurray for Our Nursery Workers of the Week!
Thank you to Autumn Burnes for being charge of the nursery on December 24.
We are grateful for you, Autumn!
Melanie and Rob Stokely will work in the nursery on December 31.
We are grateful for both of you and your willingness to help with our youngest children.
There is still room on the schedule to serve “the least of these”
on Sunday mornings. It is a blessing to see their smiles and enthusiasm as you spend
time with our infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Please contact Cheryl Beck (cabeck@ncsu.edu) if you would like to help.

1st Explorers After-School Ministry Update
This was the last week for 1st Explorers until school resumes on January 8. The week was filled with practicing for the Christmas program, snacks, and fun. On the last day, Andrew Beck reports that the children cleaned up the MFC, made a craft, and took home a Christmas goodie bag with a beautiful ornament.
Alex Wittekind, Maddox Howell, and Ella Dux wait in the wings for their turn on the stage during practice for the Christmas program.
