SRPC Teen Christmas Party: Dec. 17, 2018
There will be a Christmas Party for the SRPC Teens on Dec. 17 from 6-9pm at the Deanes’ home. There will be a baked potato and toppings bar, Christmas goodies, games, a devotional time, and a white elephant gift exchange.
Each person should bring a wrapped gift for the gift exchange. The rules for the gift exchange are that you must NOT spend any money on the gift. It can be something that you already have that you no longer want or need — maybe a book you have already read or a toy you don’t use anymore. Or, it could be something you make — a craft or some baked goods. Get creative.
Also, OPTIONAL, wear your ugliest or cutest or funniest or tackiest Christmas clothes because there might be prizes for such things.
So we can be sure to get the right amount of food and Christmas goodies, please RSVP to Pastor Matt by Dec. 15th.
