“Joy to the World” is a week in the life of our South Canyon family where we look outside our church walls and into the world. We are looking for opportunities to serve (bring “joy”) to others. Our desire is to show the love of Christ to those in our community that we may not rub elbows with everyday. Last year we baked cookies with the residents at the Women and Children's Home, had a “Men’s Pizza and Movie Night” at the Cornerstone Rescue Mission, collected and delivered gifts to the Cornerstone Rescue Mission and The Women's and Children's Home, served dinner and gave gifts to the International Students, baked, and delivered goodie boxes to shut-ins, and sang Christmas Carols for the residents at several assisted living and nursing homes.

This year “Joy to the World” will be December15-19th. Please put on you thinking caps and let us know what you think we could do this year. . . We are looking for some new ideas and willing hearts and hands to get involved in showing the true meaning of Christmas in our community!

On Friday the 19th we will end our “Joy to the World” week with an Open House at Pastor Paul and Lynn Lloyd’s home from 4-8 pm.

Please contact Carol at the office with your ideas and suggestions. Let’s make this event one we’ll all remember with “Joy” for years to come.

Jesus said He came to serve not to be served. . .
