Dress in your favorite Holiday-wear and be ready for another festive time on the front porch (in the Fellowship Hall) to celebrate this wonderful season!
We encourage you to invite your family and friends to join us for this special service of fellowship and music. Please bring a cover dish of your choice and we’ll also provide the fried chicken and beverages.
We also ask that you bring a pair of socks to put on the Chistmas tree that is on the porch. All the socks will be donated to Hope House for their residence during these cold winter months.
Hope to see you all there.
Merry Christmas!
Join Us, for Advent!
CWF News, November 2016
CWF will be hosting the reception following the Messiah presentation on Dec. 4th. We will be serving cookies, cheese ball, and crackers along with punch and coffee. We will also need people to prepare, serve, or clean up on that day. You may contact Tina Yarber, Dorice Perkins, Betty Stacy, Mary Back, or Marilyn Chamberlain with your availability for that day.
Hannah Circle will go out to lunch on Dec. 4th and then return to the church to help set up for the reception.
Sarah Circle will meet on Dec. 12th at 6:00 pm for a carry-in dinner at Zola McClish’s home.
Sarah Circle cleaned the kitchen on Nov. 3rd. We put felt tabs on the inside of the cabinet doors so that they would open and close easier. We also cleaned the steam table, cleaned out the refrigerator, and fixed the silverware drawer. Many thanks, ladies!

I am inviting any member to provide me with a scripture passage or story from which you might like to hear a sermon. I will still maintain a schedule of sermons to take into account special Sundays or observances and add your requests to that schedule. Forms are available in the narthex. I only request that you provide me with your name in case I have any questions. You can return those forms directly to me.
