NEWS FROM OUR SCHOOL
This
Advent, Christ Himself prepares us to receive Him as the babe in the
manger. Enjoy all the various nativity
sets which are on loan from students and teachers, staff and members. Please respect the owners and their precious
crèches by looking and not touching. The
golden ropes are a gentle reminder for little hands to stay clear.
Copies of our school newsletter, The Mane Events, are available in the
back of the sanctuary on the triangular shelf.
“Souper”
Challenge
OSLS students are collecting soup
cans for the food shelves in our own community during November-December. Anyone can help by bringing soup to the

God is so generous. Help us live it to
the fullest and share it with others.

GOOD NEWS FROM SCRIP!
Beginning in December, Safeway gift
cards will once again be available through our Scrip program! Gift cards will be available in $25 and $100
denominations. We are able to purchase
these cards at a 3% discount which, in most cases, is more beneficial than the escrip rebate which is between 1% and 4% depending on the
amount you spend each month. Please be
advised that purchases made with a Safeway gift card are not eligible for
accumulation for any other charitable giving (escrip),
rewards, rebate, airline miles, or awards program.
Stop by the
Scrip table today to see all of the gift cards and certificates that are
available through this fundraising program!
