Welcome to Sunset! We are grateful that you chose to be here today and that is especially true if you are visiting with us.

Today is the day that we can begin delivering our gift baskets to those in our church family who are unable to get out as often as they would like. Thanks to Carol Burnum and all the

volunteers who made cookies and donated goodies to go in these baskets; to all the volunteers who gathered at the building on Thursday to assemble these baskets; and finally to all the volunteers who will be delivering these baskets today. This is one of the nicest traditions we have here at Sunset!

We are constantly trying to discover new and better ways to reach out to our community and this year we have been given a wonderful opportunity to serve students at Parkview High School. Two of our members (Linda DeBusk and Jeff Klein) teach there and Michelle Lindsey and Ervin Dock have helped coordinate an outreach to students who are in need. We are hoping to provide clothing, Christmas presents, holiday food baskets and other goods which will meet basic necessity needs of these individuals. Our goal is to continue relationships with some or all of these students in the weeks and months to come. If you would like to help with this ministry you can make your contribution to one of the elders or staff.

Our new classes are under way on both Sunday and Wednesday nights. These classes offer a great way to get involved with others and to increase your knowledge of God and His Word. Have a great week . . .
