CHRISTMAS ON THE HILL, NOVEMBER 20, 2010
One of the most traditional signs of the holidays is the fresh evergreen wreath that each of us hangs on the door. Once again we are fortunate to be able to order WREATHS from Martin’s Wreaths in Massachusetts . Our wreaths will arrive from Canada the day before the Fair—each was hand made of native greens before making the journey south to us! Order forms will be in the October SHARE and several bulletins during October, so plan to order & pick up your wreath at the Fair. They are so fresh that they easily stay green well into January & beyond! Colorful bows will also be available for purchase. Get in the “mood”---order a wreath! Several sizes available! Look in the October SHARE & BULLETINS for order forms for Dried Fruits & Nuts. Linda Chase, 928-5838 makes ordering easy, but do it early!


REMEMBER THE RUMMAGE SALE!
We need to remember so many dates; birthdays, anniversaries, the dog’s hair cut date, your pedicure appointment.
Here’s one more date to add to your calendar:
“The FALL RUMMAGE, WHITE ELEPHANT & BAKE SALE”
Coming to our church, Friday, October 1, 2-5 p.m.
Saturday, October 2, 9 a.m. -12 noon Bake Sale by some of our youth! Donations may be left in the Church Basement until 12 noon on Thursday, September 30. Call Susan Waldron, 923-2887 if you have any questions. Help sort or sell, as you are able & remember we need people to shop the sale as well! See YOU there?


Jamie will be performing his last official duties as minister of our church next Sunday. Everyone is cordially invited to attend a special “Coffee Hour” in the Great Room immediately following the church service. Please plan to attend as we celebrate our 35 years with Jamie, enjoy the memories, and the warm fellowship. Hope you can join us for this special occasion!
