Hanging of the Greens and Luncheon
Everyone, young and old, is needed to join in the fun of helping prepare the church for Christmas! After the greens are hung, we’ll gather around the table to share a simple meal. Just bring sandwiches, salad, or dessert to share. (Please call the office if you would like to attend and what you will be sharing.)

New Voice in the Choir
We have welcomed Catherine Rubens into our choir and we are very glad to have her! Catherine participates in the music program at John Walker Middle School, where she made the top choir. If we have other singers out there, please consider singing with the choir. Speak to Scott Jones, Minister of Music.

GOT MUGS?
We would like to use re-usable mugs during Coffee & Tea Time so that we are better stewards of God’s creation. If you have any mugs at home that aren’t being used or aren’t needed – please bring them to the church office.
