Donating the Bulletin: If you would like to donate the Sunday morning bulletin in memory
of a loved one or for any other reason, please let the office know. Your message will be printed at the bottom of the bulletin emailed out to the congregation. For example: “This bulletin has been donated in memory of my ……, to celebrate the birth of……….etc.”. The amount of the donation is entirely up to you. Most people give me an envelope with a note telling me
what they want printed.
Village Pump Café: Open Tuesday mornings from 09:00 to 10:30. Stop by for coffee, tea,
sweets and of course conversation. The boutique is open and there are plenty of books to browse through.
Walking Group: Tuesday morning walking group for ladies in the village. Join us in the parking lot at 9:30 am and we can walk and chat through the village.
Remembering Book: There is a book, pictured above and kept in Fellowship Hall, that
you can write a note in remembering someone from now or long ago. The donation
envelopes are in the pews in the sanctuary and the donation goes to the general fund. If you want to give it in at the office I will write in the book for you and get your donation processed.
Bee’s Knees: The Bee’s Knees would like to remind the congregation that we always
have prayer quilts ready for distribution. Prayer quilts are given to anyone in need.
The criteria is that the person should be asked if they would accept one, a prayer quilt
cannot be purchased and the quilt itself is not the focus but the prayers that are tied into it. Prayer squares are also available to take to those in need. If you have questions, please contact Liz Healy or Brenda Cartwright.

Fellowship Hall for the sock donations OR a cash donation to purchase socks on your behalf. Accepting socks until Sunday, December 8 and then will be donated to local agencies for distribution to those in need. Thank you everyone!
