December Newsletter

“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:
the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.”
~Burton Hillis

Throughout this joyous Christmas season may we each remember that a family united in Christ and united in love is most important. We encourage each family to become united as you spend time together doing uplifting activities. Teach your children the true meaning of Christmas, and bear testimony of the Savior.

Here are some family centered activities in chino and the surrounding areas. There are endless arrays of wonderful events at Christmas time. Please share your holiday activities with the rest of us by emailing or calling Laura Hathaway-she will post on the bulletin board.
