WEEKLY CHAPEL OFFERINGS

Last week in Chapel, the students began discussing: “where should our monetary chapel offerings go this year?” In past years’ the children have elected to give to homeless shelters and purchased livestock for families in need. Each class will be able to choose the organizations they wish to support. 
In addition to monetary chapel offerings, children may bring food items; canned food, rice, pasta, etc. to help with our “Feed My Sheep” food bank donations. The congregation will be sharing these collections with three local food banks: The Lutheran Food Bank in Glendale, Hathaway-Sycamores in the Garvanza District of Highland Park, and the Faith United Food Bank on Figueroa Street.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The student Christmas Program held Thursday, December 16th was so impressive!

The evening began with the “Dicken’s Holiday Carolers”, favorite Christmas songs from the Preschool children,  kindergarten, and the 1st & 2nd grades, followed by the K-6 Student’s who performed, with excellence, “ The Christmas Chronicle’s” a play by John Jacobson and Roger Emerson. Each one of them did a fabulous job, and it certainly put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Great job Kids!

"HOW TO COOK A TURKEY” 

  These were their responses:  

AYANA SIERRA:

A turkey costs about 60, 50 or 80 dollars.  You should put salt and then my mom puts pepper and then cucumber and then eggs.  Put the oven at 5064 for 15 or 16.  

Fernanda Andujo:

Buy a turkey for like 40-60.  One day I went to my Tia’s to eat turkey.  To cook it put it in the oven 15-16 minutes.  It should like be hot.  Put salt and some people like pickles and to put a little sauce like ketchup.  Eat apple pie for desert.

Shanel Tolliver:

A turkey costs 340 dollars.  I cook a turkey 5 or 30 minutes.  Take it out it will look juicy, and when you poke a knife it will not be ready until you see juice.  Some people put pickles and some people have sauce to make it taste good.                 

                           Happy Thanksgiving!
