Christ’s Kingdom in Motion
Updates
Advent Service
Speaking Parts for our Advent Service were distributed this week, and we’ve been rehearsing the music as well. Memorizing them would be ideal, so please encourage your children to consider how they can lead in this worship service.
Cookie Walk
Cookie Walk Season is rolling out & December 5th will be here soon enough! We’d like to help you plan. Your child should’ve brought home the cookie walk packet put together by Panther Parents. We have a couple of updates:
- Please tray your 9 dozen cookies at home.
o Please affix a label found on the handout that came home to EACH tray of cookies to ensure allergy safety.
○ If using your own trays, clearly label the bottom with your name, if you want the tray returned.
- Or borrow platters from St. Paul. You can pick them up in the school office to be used for this event.
- Have excess paper bags? Drop some off at school for use packaging Cookie Walk sales.
Don’t forget to sign up for ingredients by Monday! 2026 Ingredient Request
This wonderful community event is important for our school and we need all families to help. Here is what we are asking of you:
DONATE – detailed information is in your child’s packet about cookie donations. If you want to plan ahead, cookies made with real butter are freezable. In the past, there have been families who truly believed in this fundraiser and went way beyond their asked contribution. If you have the opportunity and are willing to make more than 9 dozen, your donations are sincerely welcome. Grandparents are great resources and have cherished recipes that would be great to share at our cookie walk. Making cookies could be a great volunteer activity for groups like Girls Scouts. See links below for recipe ideas!
VOLUNTEER – It’s a day of hard work, but also filled with holiday cheer! Please visit this volunteer website for remaining available spots:
* 6th, 7th & 8th graders can earn service hours by helping, too!*
