Hay:
I figured it would be helpful if I gave a tentative list of all activities for the upcoming months. Now the events might change as life happens.  But, I figured posting a couple of months in advance will at least give you some idea of what is going to happen at Elevate so you can plan your life accordingly and invite some of your friends.

24th- Christmas Eve service, 10 pm
25th — Christmas service, 10 am
25 — Boxing day service , 10 am
