I would like to thank everyone who worked so faithfully to bring the November Holiday Bazaar to another successful end. Once again we raised, at this point in time, over $6,000. toward missions. To everyone from the chairs of rooms, to their workers, to the set up and take down people, the workers in the lunch room, kitchen, the youth who greeted and participated, and those who contributed with their purchases and those who donated items, all of you are so appreciated. This is a big event and with all of us working together, it is a well oiled machine that runs smoothly. I give praise to God who works within us a spirit of unity (and for the wonderful weather!) Thank you again for your participation in the annual event. Sally Bassett, Bazaar Chair
Those serving in the military in our nation are away from home and loved ones. Mail is a connection that they look forward to daily - a word of care and encouragement. Do you have a family member or friend who is currently serving our nation? We would like their addresses so we can offer our congregation opportunity to be encouragers to these soldiers. Helen Quinn will be coordinating this effort. Please give her the FULL address of your loved one or friend or you may email it to her. A list of those name and addresses will be shared with the congregation as soon as we have them assembled.
