Delicious food, reasonable prices and great conversation. Come and meet new friends.

BUTTERFLY GIRLS • GUYS’ NIGHT OUT
Thursday, Dec. 21, 6:30 p.m. at O’Charley’s: A gathering of ‘holiday leftovers’
(Please note location change)
Because several of the usual attendees of Butterfly Girls and Guys’ Night Out are going to be traveling or have other obligations, our previously planned December gathering at Wintzell’s Oyster House in Fairhope is canceled.
However, not all of us are going anywhere and/or do not have family to gather with for the Christmas holiday, so Mary McNair is coordinating for any and all who are going to be around and would like to share an early Christmas dinner out. Please call or text Mary at 251-295-5267 by 4 p.m. that day if you know you’re coming so adequate table space can be reserved. (A few extra chairs will be reserved for any last-minute deciders.)
INTENTIONAL FAITH DEVELOPMENT

YOUTH CHRISTIAN EDUCATION REPORT
Tara Morrow, elder
The youth enjoyed the trunk-or-treat/fall festival held in October along with the fish fry where they collected over $500 toward the cost of camps and conferences next year.
A youth bonfire is planned for Dec. 17 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the church. More information will be sent to those involved. This group is for students in sixth through 12th grade.
“Kids’ Club” has changed its name to “SWAG.” It stands for “Saved With Amazing Grace.” This group is for grades 1–4.
