The Worship & Music Commission is once again hosting an all-church Christmas decorating party. On November 30, immediately following the morning worship service, we invite EVERYONE—families, retirees and youth—to join us in creating a beautiful atmosphere for our Advent Season. We ask that you once again bring an ornament, one that represents you or your family, to place (donate) on the tree in the narthex. We will work first and then we will have a soup & bread lunch in the Fellowship Hall. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board or you may call the church office, as we need a head count for lunch. We encourage your participation in this time of fun and working together.
