Christmas Campfire
Our first annual Christmas Campfire will be December 16th and 17th.
- We will have a fire pit set up on campus, probably across the creek.
- You will sign up to take your class for a time to come hear a story around the campfire and maybe sing some songs too!!
- Talk this up to your class and get them excited about it.
- You will receive a Google Doc where you can sign up for a time for your class to come over and listen to a story around the fire. They will be 15-20 minute slots. :)
