Angel Tree – starting now through December 11th (delivery day)
Many children in Monterey county will be spending this Christmas at home, while their mother or father is in prison. These children may have witnessed things like homelessness, domestic violence, or even drug abuse. Although the parents may be in prison, their children suffer greatly as well. When Christmas comes around, Angel Tree reminds these children that they are very much loved.
Since its creation almost thirty years ago, Angel Tree has been providing Christmas gifts to children with incarcerated parents. First, the parents who want to be a part of the program sign up and write down the name and age of their child, as well as a gift their child wants. Churches who want to be a part of the program are then assigned the children and church members pick the child or children they want to provide the gift for and purchase that item. One week prior to Christmas, the gift is delivered to the children with a personal message from their parent included with it.
Shoreline Community Church has been teaming up with Angel Tree for a number of years. Right now, you can participate in this amazing ministry and bless both a parent in prison and a child this Christmas. Simply pick up an angel in the lobby and purchase the requested gift. You may choose to either deliver it yourself or let our volunteer team deliver the gifts, as we meet together on Saturday, December 11th, our delivery day. You may also sign up at the booth to be solely a delivery person rather than purchase the gifts. Gifts can be dropped off at the church until December 11th.
If you have any more questions about Angel Tree, please call the church, or check out the Angel Tree official website: http://www.angeltree.org/deliverlove

We will kick off our “Thursday Night Live” time of worship, study, and fellowship on Thursday, September 10 and will gather together each Thursday following. The leadership team has been planning a Godly course for this to be the best season yet!!
Some of the plans in the works include special worship, guest speakers, testimonies, interactive bible studies, outings, and even a ski-mountain trip in the works. We would truly like to see you all on Thursdays with two or three new friends (no, let’s make it 5)!
Don’t be alone any longer! No excuses- become an active part of this great family of unconditional God lovers. Also, we encourage the attendance of single adults from other churches so we can all stay connected as one big multi-aged, multi-gifted, and multi-facetted group of Jesus followers!

Video Scavenger Hunt!
7-10pm
Cost: Free
A great night of filming! Grab all your friends for the scavenger hunt of the year! You and a group (with an adult leader, of course) will set out to acquire a plethora of video documentation of a pre-made list of wacky, zany, and mildly outrageous stunts and actions! (for example: your group singing a backstreet boys song to a stranger, somebody in your group giving the Gettysburg address outside a Starbucks while standing on a chair, etc.) You wont want to miss this great time of hangin’ out and making awesome videos. Plus, if it’s really good, we might even give out some prizes. RSVP is a must so we know how many cars we need!
