Merry Christmas to you all! I wanted to touch base this week and give you what I know, so that you can plan your busy week accordingly, so here we go:
Today: The residents of the Ellis Good Samaritan Center will be attending their Christmas Party today at 2:30pm. Arthur’s Pizza & Mexican Foods is having a Half Price Sale today and tomorrow. I know the kids (well, mine anyway!) are dying to eat at Arthur’s, so why not take them today! They will love you for it and as a bonus to you-NO DISHES!! Whoop! Whoop!! Also today and Tuesday, visit the Golden Belt Bank for their Christmas Open House. Jeff, Nathan, Mary Kay, Andrea, Vanesa, and Sandy want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and if I know those girls, there’s some pretty tasty treats to boot!
Tuesday: Today is Ugly Sweater Day at the Ellis Good Samaritan Center. If nothing else happens today, head out to the Good Sam and have a chuckle with the residents while you check out the …umm, beautiful sweaters.
Wednesday: It’s Christmas Eve! If you aren’t finished shopping, you’d best hurry! Santa will be packing up his sleigh and giving everything the once-over to make sure he’s ready to fly later on. Make sure you have cookies and milk ready for the night. The Ellis Church’s will all be having Christmas Eve Services. The following is the schedule that I have now:
Ellis United Methodist Church: 6pm
Ellis Baptist Church: 7pm Candle-light Service
Christ Lutheran Church: 7pm Candle-light Service
St. Mary’s Catholic Church: 5pm Children’s Mass, Midnight Mass
St. John’s Lutheran Church: 6pm Christmas Eve Program
Ogallah Christian Church: 6pm Candle-Light Service
Thursday: Merry Christmas to you and your family! Today, there are a few Christmas Services and they are as follows:
Christ Lutheran Church: 10am at the Parsonage
St. Mary’s Catholic Church: 9am
St. John’s Lutheran Church: 10:30am
Sunday: Chicken Dinner at the Knights of Columbus Hall from 10-1pm or when the food’s all gone. No leftover turkey today!
That’s it! That’s all I have!
Again, Merry Christmas to you all. If you are traveling, please be safe, we need you back! Have a great week everyone and if I’ve missed something, let me know. The Alliance office will be open until Wednesday at Noon, so if you need Chamber Bucks, come on down!
