Holiday Cheer is for the families and chidren of Andrew's Answer, the Children's Ministry program of UCRP. These are the children that we work with during our summer mission trips to UCRP and through Jenny Kirkpatrick's Girl Scout Gold project. We need 10 youth and at least 2 parents to help. (we need the parents to drive) We will be serving dinner, helping with crafts and games and handing out gifts! You will be on your way home by 8:30.

This holiday season we are inviting families to take amoment from the hustle and bustle of preparing for Christmas to reinforce to our children the positive impact of giving. We have found a terrific outing that surely exemplifies the Christmas spirit.

Parents, what would you do with 3 hours of free time during the hectic holiday season? Get a massage, shop, read, nap, watch football?

The Children and FamilyWork Area would like to invite children (infant through11 years old) to come to the church on the 19th for an afternoon of Christmas activities and fun!

Cost is $5 a child or $10 for 2 or more children. Sign-up in the office.

The Reverend Fred Conger will present and lead a discussion on the film The Straight Story, a 1999 release starring Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek as 73-year-old Alvin Straight and his mentally-challenged daughter Rose. Learning that his long-estranged brother, Lyle, is seriously ill, Alvin decides it’s time to reconcile.

The Youth Group retreat will be at Wesley Woods in Williams Bay on Gemeva Lake. The same place as our summer camp!

We will leave DGFUMC late in the afternoon on Friday, December 17 and return to DGFUMC about noon on Sunday, December 19.

All the youth involved in the Interfaith Youth Projects will present reports of what their goals are and what they have accomplished.

The Young At Heart group will be celebrating the holidays and especially Christmas, when they get together on Wednesday, December 8. They will begin with lunch at noon in Chapel Hall followed by Christmas Caroling led by Brett Goad.

Sign up for this activity in the Parlor on Sunday or by contacting the church. Cost will be $10.00 per person.
