Tomorrow – Fair Trade Prayer Breakfast and Market!

If you like to eat, pray, fellowship and SHOP, please join the United Methodist Women on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 9-11am for a prayer breakfast.

Our topic will be “Fair Trade: What is it, and why should we care about it?” Immediately following the breakfast, we will be hosting a Fair Trade Market, where we will have fair trade merchandise available for purchase.

There is no cost for the breakfast. Join us to learn about and support this worthy cause.

Service opportunity! We need volunteers to assist with the Fair Trade Market after the prayer breakfast on November 5!

Please look for sign up sheets in the Church Lobby, or contact Angie Green or Caroline Anderson for more information.

Tomorrow is the LAST Day to Get Chicken Chili Tickets

29 Oct

Ruth Circle will have their annual Chicken Chili Lunch on November 6th.

We are now selling tickets between all three services on Sundays.

The tickets must be purchased by Oct. 30th so we will know the number of people. The price of the tickets: $8 per adult, $5 for children between 5 and l0 years. Children under 5 will be free. Family ticket for $30.

Consider pre-ordering a handmade cornucopia at the Chicken Chili Luncheon ticket area.

The price is $20 and the proceeds will benefit the Building Fund. They will be ready for pick-up at the luncheon on November 6. (They are sturdy enough to mail as a gift.)
