Merry Christmas, church family! As of today, our Virtual Giving Tree is online with the wish lists for each of the 26 children in our Hispanic Ministry. We managed this well last year, and so are going treeless again this year as we continue to deal with COVID-19 safety precautions within our community. Those who wish to participate will choose from the children's wish list items in the slots, then shop and drop!

Visit our SignUpGenius registry at:Giving Tree . You'll bring your UNWRAPPED GIFT WITH GIFT CODE ATTACHED to a DRIVE-BY DROP OFF from 12:00pm-1:00pm on Friday, 12/10. You'll get to stay in your car and drive up to the front doors and I'll be there to collect your gifts. Monetary donations can also be mailed to the church or made in-person during service, with "Giving Tree" written in the memo line on your checks.

Questions? Please call Debbie at 360/424-3628 or email debbie@mvfumc.org. Thank you for your generosity!

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly...sounds like a TV series, doesn't it? Sue Erickson will lead this four-week Advent Book Study each Tuesday from 7-8pm beginning on November 30th. In this Advent study, author Richard B. Wilke focuses on people in the story of Christ's birth. There are those we associate with the joy and celebration of Christmas - the wise men, the shepherds, and Joseph. Yet the author reminds us not to forget that the evil King Herod is also part of the Christmas story, and how it is because there is evil in our world that we so desperately needed - and need - a Savior. Books have been ordered and will be available in the office for $10. Funds are available for those needing assistance to purchase a book. To register for this class please click on this SignUpGenius link: Advent Study Sign Up.
