Cake, Coffe and Carols
On November 27, 2011, the church had our Cake, Coffee and Carols event. We had over 50 people attend. Everyone had a wonderful time singing carols and finishing up with coffee and cake downstairs.
The event was free, but many generously donated or purchased raffle tickets in support of the "organ fund". The church is purchasing an organ to replace the current one which has seen better days.
Regular Events:
l Pot Luck Suppers
Pot luck suppers are held at the Church on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. (except in the summer, when we skip the months of July, August and September). Bring a dish to share. All are welcome.Our next pot luck supper is on Wednesday, December 14 at 6:00.
