3. CHRISTMAS OFFERING- It is a tradition at Bethany of Fox Valley UMC to collect a special Christmas offering each year. This year, we will use this offering for our Apportionment obligation to the Northern Illinois Conference of the UMC. Every local church in the UMC pays an Apportionment to their regional conference.  We are in the Northern Illinois Conference.  Our apportionment payments support missions and ministries within our larger community and around the world.  The system of apportionments enables us to accomplish far more than any one local church or person could alone. 

4. CHRISTMAS EVE- Christmas Eve Service will be held at 5:30pm.
