Hello, Oasis parents. 
This will be the final communication you will receive from me until after the holiday season.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I wish you all a blessed holiday season.
Included in this email:
  • The new acolyte schedule for December and January
    A hard copy will be sent home this evening with your student.  If there are conflicts, please be sure to contact another confirmand to fill your spot.  I would like to be notified of any changes so I can communicate the change to Heather in the office.  Otherwise, I will not be managing changes in this schedule when there are conflicts. Thanks for your assistance with this.
  • December Youth Offering Basket
We will be collecting Winter mittens and gloves during the month of December.  Please bring youth or adult sizes to place in our offering basket during our opening service in December. These will be distributed in our outreach programs.
    
  • Christmas Program information
    All confirmands will play a role in this year's youth program on Wednesday, December 17 at 6:15
    Some have speaking/singing roles, some may be dancing, some may have solos, some will help with moving equipment or filling in a "walk across crowd member" role.  Regardless, they all will be needed and their leadership with the younger youth will be appreciated.
    If they have a script, PLEASE be sure they are bringing it with them on Wednesday nights.
    Practicing outside of church time will make everyone more comfortable.  Thanks for encouraging this at home.
