6-Week Study with Dick Maples

6:30 pm, Room 124

Due to a temporary problem with the WorldCrafts supplier, the

WorldCrafts Fair scheduled for September 25th will need to be postponed

to next year. However, we are going to be able to make the crafts

available and at a bargain price. For the next two Sundays, and the next

three Wednesday evenings, a display table will be set up with a sample of

some of the crafts, and we will have catalogs there as well, and several

people available to help with orders for those who would like to meet the

needs of artisans around the world and at the same time, get a head start

on getting special Christmas gifts. On Wednesday evenings, the table will

be just outside the Fellowship Hall, and on Sunday morning, outside the

library between services. This is an opportunity to participate in

meaningful ministry and find some unique gift items and unusual

nativities. National WMU is offering us a 20% discount and will provide

free mailing to your address for these two weeks.

Mature Adults

September 13th—4:30pm. Dutch Treat buffet meal at Catfish Cabin.
