Typically, we ask you to bring Christmas cookies to share at our service of Lessons and Carols (Dec. 14).  We still ask you to bring food, but for a different purpose.  Many are aware of the reality of food insecurity in our community.  We may find ourselves asking what to do.  Alive is a non-profit organization in Alexandria, helping those facing emergency situations.  They collect, and then distribute food to those in need. This link lists the items needed most. Please bring an item (or more!) to worship on December 14, and we will make sure it gets to those in need.
