The United Methodist Women are Selling Christmas Ornaments: For $6.00 each as a fundraiser as they have in the past. There is a sample of the beautiful ornament in the vestibule. If you are interested in purchasing any, please fill out an order form and give it to Anita Walker or Robin Hearne along with your payment.
New Chairs for the Choir Room Have Arrived!:
The existing pews need to be removed from the choir room. They are made of strong wood (and are heavy) and would make a great bench seat.
If anyone is interested in taking a pew for their home, garage or work area, etc., please contact Parker Hinson or Pastor Ron.
