Un-Trim-A-Tree: Support a Child in Dale City This Year!
Please consider purchasing a gift for a child in need in our very own community by signing up to sponsor a child with a gift through Un-Trim-A-Tree!
All Saints’ Church is supporting 160 children from local schools by providing 2 gifts for each child! These children range in age from newborn up to 16 years old.
We will follow the same process as we did last year and provide an online sign-up list. Please sign up here for as many children as you feel led to help and try to keep the amount for each gift to about $35.00 or less. If the item listed is too expensive, please feel free to substitute it with an age-appropriate gift.
Please drop off your gifts at the front of the church on Sunday, December 10. Gifts should be unwrapped with name, ID number, and the letter “a” or “b” attached.
With Sincerest Thanks,
The All Saints’ Church Un-Trim-A-Tree Team

A Christmas Thank You!
Thank you to everyone that served during Advent in the Living Nativity and in the Family Christmas Eve service prep. It truly was a season of preparation, but with much rejoicing! Over a month's time of practicing songs, rehearsing, costuming, staging, constructing, and more! It all came to be a celebration of a newborn King and a Savior to the world right here in Dale City. Thank you to everyone that contributed in so many ways!

Living Nativity Neighborhood Walk!
A call to the church for all ages! If you are not already planning to serve in the Food Giveaway on Saturday, December 11, come spread the news of the nativity by being part of a team to distribute door hangers announcing the Drive-Thru Living Nativity. We will be taking beautiful door hangers to our Dale City Community neighbors on Saturday, December 11, at 2 p.m.
Three Kings Search for the Newborn King!
The children of All Saints’ Church are invited to a “Three King's Search for the Newborn King!”
In the season of Advent, children will be taking turns in Sunday School receiving one of the three Kings dolls, carefully prepared by our beloved Margaret Nichols. The dolls will go home with 3 children each week, and they can either take pictures of their King doll on a special journey to find baby Jesus (perhaps an outing to grandma's house, sitting under their own Christmas tree or while reading an Advent family devotion, or even in the kitchen while cooking a family meal!) Or they can journal/write, or draw a picture of their King somewhere on a special visit.
Our King dolls will be traveling through all the weeks of Advent until Epiphany, when the children will be invited to share about their King's journey, hear the story of The Visit of the Wise Men, be visited by the singing and costumed Three Kings themselves on January 9th.
All families attending Sunday School will be invited first to take a King doll home for the week, returning it with their photos, writings, or drawing! Ages 3 and up are invited!
