The Baking!!

Christmas Project

Don't forget about our box in the front of the classroom for donations to the Missouri Baptist Children's Home. We have until the 15th to fill it up!!! The list of needs can be found earlier in the blog!



Prayer Requests

-Please pray for the details of the Christmas Show. Sometimes the "little things" can take up so much precious time and mental concern.
-Pray for Kevin as he recovers from his stoke that he suffered on Thursday. He has lost more vision in both eyes, which also gives him an issue with depth perception. His speech is also affected. Thankfully, the doctors expect it all to return. Pray for healing..and a prayer of thanks that it wasn't worse.
