 LOVE PEOPLE TO JESUS WITH SONG THIS CHRISTMAS
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CAROLING
SUNDAY DECEMBER 13TH
2:45 P.M.
ALL AGES ARE WELCOME
It's a joy to bring smiles and the love of Jesus to those who aren't able to participate elsewhere in the many activites of the season. If you would like to sing with us this year, please meet at church. We will carpool from there and visit 2 nursing homes.
* One nursing home, because of the flu season, is not allowing children under age 19 to enter the home. After the first home, we will bring children back to church. The Children's Christmas Program practice will be happening during this time and other child care will also be provided.
We will share a time of fellowship when we return from caroling. If you are able, please bring a finger-food type of dish to share.
Contact Julie Krause with any questions! (815-226-4752)
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR OUR FALL FESTIVAL!
God has blessed once again. On November 8th Mt Olive had its first Fall Festival which we hope will become an annual event. God's hand was with the event from beginning to end - especially evident in the fantastic weather we had. Who would have expected 70 degree weather in mid-November!
Between 125 and 150 people attended the event including at least six families from the community who are not a part of our Mt Olive family. The entertainment was great, as was the food, which was served at bargain prices.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to 48 of our members involved in making this event a huge success. Thank you one and all. You are all true gifts of God!
