Secret Sister Drive-Thru Christmas Party Wednesday, December 9
Bring your Secret Sister Christmas gift to the Sisters-in-
Christ table in the Fellowship Hall by Sunday, December
6. Clearly mark on the OUTSIDE the recipient’s name.
Reveal who the gift is from on the INSIDE. DO NOT
PICK UP YOUR PRESENT!! Sign the sheet if you wish
to participate in gift exchanges in 2021. On December 9,
between the hours of 6 & 8pm, drive thru and stop by
the BCC kitchen door. We will hand you your present, a
cup of hot cider or hot chocolate, and a Christmas treat.
You can then draw for a new Secret Sister. All ladies are
invited to participate in 2021-just sign up and drive thru
to draw a name and enjoy a treat.
December Plans
You might notice there is not a lot of detail in this
month’s beacon. That is because with Covid
happening right now, a lot of our church plans are up
in the air. These are uncertain times and we are
living in a very fluid situation where plans can change
from week to week. Thank you for being patient and
understanding during this
unprecedented time!
