Weekly Updates 11-16-21
Our sending church, First Family Church in Ankeny, has invited us to a night of worship, along with all of the other 435 network Churches.
NOVEMBER 19 @ 6:00PM
This will be a great opportunity for us to go, and be refreshed together as we lift up the name of Jesus together.
Child care is available (birth-Preschool) at the 6:00 service, and I would like to encourage all who can attend, to make this a priority for that night. Please Register below.
(Show up even if you forget to register. They are getting round numbers)
This will be worth your time.
Hey all! CityPoint Middle School Youth Group is having a Friendsgiving Wednesday, November 24 from 3:00-8:00. From 3:00pm to 5:00 they will be serving the Community. Half the kids will rake leaves to a neighbor in need and the other half will give food away to the Bristol Ridge Apartments. 5:30pm is dinner at the Church. 6:00-7:00pm is a time of worship followed by games. We need your help to pull off a meal for these crazies. You are welcome to join in serving, eating and worshipping! Thank You for investing in our future. We desire these two groups (you and the youth) to spend time together and this is a simple way to start.
If you would like to help we have a sign up link for you.

BACK TO BETHLEHEM
December 4th – Back to Bethlehem – Community Event – 9am to Noon – this will be an outside event. There will be live animals (not a petting zoo) Donkey, Sheep, and Camel……The straw that is rented goes around the animals and also makes up the stable/manger. There will be a giveaway for the kids (crafty thing). There will be cookies and hot coco, coffee, and apple cider. The story of Jesus’s birth will be read and then there will be “actors” that just follow along with the reading. So Mary, Joseph, Angels, and Shepherds. There will be a big ol tarp that hangs outside that looks like the desert. They will want people to do half hour shifts. That way if it is super cold then people can get warmed up inside. The costumes go on over peoples clothes. Kids can participate.
What is needed: Volunteers on 11/20 from 8:30am to 10:30am to do a practice run of setting everything up to determine what all needs to be ready for the 4th. They have not done all of it outside before. So the “store fronts” and so forth have to be figured out. On the 4th help with set up, tear down, actors, readers, greeters (talking it up with people while they get their drink and cookies), dressers (people to help get the costumes on over the clothes.
