MAKE PLANS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WITH US!
We GIVE
This Christmas season we want to bless our REACH High School Students with a gift. We are asking for $5
gift cards to Walmart or any fast food restaurants here in Salem. These gift cards will be given to our students on
December 13th at our Christmas Party! We are also collecting personal items for our students. There is a sign-up
sheet in the foyer with more information.
If you wish to partner with us in blessing these students, please have the gift cards, personal items, and/or monetary
donations turned in by December 10th. There will be a box in the foyer for the donated items. Please turn the gift
cards and monetary donations into Allison West or Connie Williams.

carols at two nursing homes and during Sunday morning worship. Mark your calendars for December 16th & 17th.
