CHRISTMAS CAROLING FOR ALL!
Yes you can Christmas Carol and watch the Broncos Game all at the same time … or at least on the same day! So come on over to the church Dec. 9th at Half Time, watch the second half of the game at the church, eat Chili Dinner together during the second half, and as soon as the game is over … a caroling we’ll go!

GROCERY GIFT CARDS
King Soopers re-loadable grocery gift cards are sold between services on the last Sunday of each month. Atonement receives a percentage of sales and re-loads. These proceeds are used to fund any Atonement project or special need and to support various ministries. Atonement appreciates the support of this fundraiser! 
COFFEE
We hope you enjoy some morning coffee each Sunday in our narthex. To help offset the cost of supplies, your free-will donation is greatly appreciated. Donations can be dropped in the coffee-fund box located in the narthex. 
COMMUNITY MINISTRY
For the month of December, Community Ministry has asked Atonement to supply canned vegetables. Toiletry items are also needed. Please leave these or any other non-perishable food items in the grocery basket in Atonement's sanctuary entryway. |
