Sunday School
We have in-person Sunday School for kids aged 4-12 with our amazing teacher, Alissa! Sunday School will be held after our worship time.
This weekend in Kids church we will continue our theme of great stories of Trust in the Old Testament. This week we will look at the story of the Fiery Furnace and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who had faith that God would protect them. There are three important factors in this story that I hope to speak about. First is that the three men refused to cave to peer pressure around them - I hope our kids can learn something from that lesson. The second is that they said they would still trust God even if He didn’t protect them - this helps us see that even when God doesn’t answer our prayers He is still good! Finally, the story will help us learn that Jesus is so real and willing to be with us through it all that He would stand in the fire with them, and with us.
If you have any questions or if there is any way we can support you as a family, please contact Alissa through the church office.
For families with nursery-aged children, we have a quiet room with toys, and the service is broadcast live so you won't miss a thing.

Announcements
1. Canyon Creek Christmas Party: On December 11th, from 4-6pm, we will be in the gym for a fun Christmas party for everyone in the church! This is a chance to have some space and time to connect with one another. We’ll have games for kids and COVID-safe refreshments. An email was sent out this week with a sign up sheet for set-up and baking but you can also sign up in person at the back of the gym on Sunday.
2. Ladies' Christmas Brunch: We are having our free Ladies' Christmas Brunch once again! This year it will be at the Carriage House Inn on Sunday, December 12th at 12:30pm. The Carriage House Inn requires that attendees be double-vaccinated; they will ask to see ID and vaccination QR-code. If you would like to attend, please send an email to the church office at canyoncreek.churchoffice@gmail.com to let Gwynne know how many will be attending. Please, no children unless the child is an infant. The deadline to sign up is December 8th.
3. Bannister Manor and Christmas: Two weeks ago we kicked off this year's Bannister Manor Christmas Sponsorship program. This year we had 48 families needing to be sponsored. We already have 39 ornaments on our tree! This means that we only have 9 families left that need to be sponsored. We still have 3 families left at $70 each and 6 families left at $85 each. Would you pray about sponsoring a family this Christmas? Let’s fill this tree with ornaments and show our friends at Bannister Manor how much they are loved by us and by God.
4. R3ACH Youth: Erin Clarke will share how things went this past Friday with the Youth’s Rake n Run, and also share with us about the next youth event on December 10th: a Reach Youth tradition, a murder mystery party from 7:00pm-10:00 pm.
5. Sunday school and Kids Club: Alissa Tremblay will be leading our kids through acting out the Christmas story for us!
