Weekly Announcements

Beginning this week, you are welcome to bring in Christmas cards for those at 2nd Ave for a card exchange. Please put the cards in the wrapped box that will be near the Gathering Place. Cards will not be distributed until after the gift giveaway on December 16. The box will be open until December 22 (you can bring cards on Sundays or during office hours, but please call ahead to ensure we are in). Cards will be available for pickup through January 4. Please only bring in cards for those who attend here on 2nd Avenue. If you have any questions, please contact me.

We will not be in the office during regular business hours tomorrow because we will be shopping for our Christmas giveaway. Please call if you intend to stop because we may not be present.

This Wednesday marks the final ROCK for 2025. Thank you to everyone who helped provide gifts for each child in attendance!
