'Tis the Season! Let's Make It Merry!

Join us on Monday, December 9, from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at The Legacy Centre for an evening of good company, holiday hors d'oeuvres, music, and all the Christmas feels to make your heart merry and bright! A very special thanks goes to Pinnacle Bank for their generous sponsorship.

Members, spouses, and guests are welcome. More the merrier!

We've bottled up all the joy and goodness of Christmas into one unforgettable merry-making night and can't wait to spend it with you!

Some of the merry extras to expect:

• Since it is better to give than to receive, we're also hosting a "Merriest of Ornaments Silent Auction" to benefit the ministry of Harbours Gate (more info below). Winning bids will be announced during the party at 6:45 p.m.    
• Optional: When you register, email or text Cindy (865-384-2578) your family's favorite Christmas photo(s). This could be an actual photo of your family and/or a treasured Christmas memory. Photos are requested by December 6th. We've got a merry project in the works! 
• "BYOO" - We all have those special ornaments that mean the world to us. Perhaps it's your child's handmade ornament...a gift from someone special...a souvenir from a once-in-a-lifetime trip...or maybe it represents 'a first'...or reminds you of Grandma. Whatever your story, we invite you to bring a cherished 'O'rnament to adorn the TLC tree with your family's happy memories and share your merry stories in conversation throughout the night. Don't forget to take it home before you depart!
• And of course, you'll be among the merriest people around (you!) and enjoy delicious food, fun, music, photobooth, prizes, and giveaways!

Is that merry enough for you? ;)

Get your spouse and colleagues on board this merry train (...just had to get one more in there!) and start getting in the festive spirit for an evening of fun, food, and fellowship at TLC!

Note: Please RSVP with the name(s) of your spouse and guests. Festive attire suggested.

Please RSVP online by December 6th at 5 p.m.!

"Merriest of Ornaments Silent Auction" Benefiting Harbours Gate

Because Christmas is meant to be shared...

Let's help spread the joy of the season by doing what we can to help support children and families who are experiencing hard times and working to rebuild their lives this Christmas. One of our members, Tom Garner, Founder of Harbours Gate, works every day to "Bring Our Village Back!" by giving hope, healing, and support to families suffering from addiction, loss of jobs, etc. Harbours Gate serves on the front lines, building trusting relationships and meeting needs like a triage, prevention, and community safe place. As you can imagine, many of these individuals have come from some very hard places, including children being separated from their parents. Let's help Harbours Gate give the gift of love this Christmas…

To help make this happen, we are hosting a "Merriest of Ornaments Silent Auction" to benefit Harbours Gate's mission. Currently, we are busy curating some cool one-of-a-kind ornaments for you to bid on at the party. All proceeds (100%) from the winning bids will go to Harbours Gate. Winning bids will be announced at 6:45 p.m. If you would like to donate a special ornament to be included, please let us know. Not only will this be a meaningful way for us to give back, it should be a ton of fun too! Even more importantly, our families will be sharing the joy of Christmas - a beautiful expression of Christ's love... Learn More about Harbours Gate
