HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Entering the seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas, our expectations are high, but this is also a time when the absence of loved ones is felt more keenly. There may be one less place at the dinner table, or one less stocking on the fireplace. Sometimes, we may get hit with the holiday blues. Our Stephen Ministry team is here to listen and support. If you would like to talk with a Stephen Minister, contact Jon Siehl or Jan Bundy.

 

POINSETTIA LUNCHEON this year is on Thursday, December 7, at 12:00 noon in Fellowship Hall.

THE 2007 FLOWER CHART HAS ARRIVED. It is not too early to think about giving flowers for next year, especially if you have a particular date in mind. The chart is posted in the church office.

 

THE GREETER SCHEDULE FOR 2007 IS BEING COMPILED. We could use a few friendly men and women, old hands or new faces to welcome worshipers on Sundays. At the most you would only be assigned two weeks throughout the entire year. If you are interested in being a greeter, please indicate on the friendship pad or leave a note in the office.
