GAP Christmas Party!! Come join us for the most fun you’ll have this Christmas season! Following the evening service tonight we’ll be having a Christmas party to rival all Christmas parties at the Sonnenburg’s! The main event of the night will be the White Elephant Gift Exchange (or as some people call it – a Yankee Swap). Please come to the party with a gift to exchange – nothing over $10, please. Last year we had a great time fighting over a knife collection. You never know what kind of gifts will show up. Join us for a great time – and remember, studying for finals is NOT an excuse to not be there! Questions? Call Chris & Janelle Sonnenburg!
