THE CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN BEGINS
Starting December 1, gather your family, friends, or coworkers to find a new way to DO GOOD each day leading up to Christmas.
We'd love for you to follow along with the challenge on our social media pages (Facebook / Instagram)...and share with your friends! Anyone, anywhere can participate!
We want to celebrate the completion of the Christmas Countdown with a special video re-cap at the Christmas Eve services, so if you take pictures or video of doing good, please EMAIL them to us or tag The Simple Church in your posts.
